Candy Washing machine does not spin?

Hi I have a Candy TC1244 washing machine, that has stopped spinning.
The machine appears to be working fine in all other respects, ie the
motor turns backwards and forwards and washes the clothes.
The pump pumps the water out Ok, and the machine goes through the
spin cycle but without any spin.

Any ideas ?
Is there a circuit diagram available any where ?

Cheers

Found the problem.
There is a thermaly operated door lock/switch and this
was faulty. It is by the door open button.
This appears to lock the door when the spin is activated. A side
affect is if it is not working power does not get to the motor
for spin.

Yes the drum is moving fine in wash mode, backwards and forwards.
I have disconnected the hose to the preasure switch and attached a separate
hose. It does click on blow. Actually two clicks as this model has a deep
rinse. There are 6 wires to the pressure switch.

The motor appears to have a separate electronics board for control ...

are you sure that the drum is moveing? if so check to see if the pressure switch bottle is cloged with gunk making the machine think it is still full of water and stopping the spin cycle also check the pressure switch tube and the filter if fitted to that model
