Common fault waggle the wire where the power cord enters the rear of the machine if works then stops you have a broken wire at this point due to the constant bending of the cable. You will need a Torq 15 screwdriver looks like this(*) shape and a couple of new insulated spade connections, cut off where the cable enter the rear of machine (you will only loose about 4" of flex) and remake the connections.
