If motor hums and drum turns if given a starting push by hand with the lid off (be careful) then capacitor faulty as mm says. If nothing at all then no supply to motor or motor faulty. Before removing capacitor unplug machine and short out capacitor terminals with an INSULATED screwdriver,( if ok it can store electricity even when unplugged.) Cheers
