There may be other reasons your machine is being balky, but here's how to check your hypothesis:

UNPLUG THE MACHINE, do not proceed without doing this, no matter how inconvenient.

Then drain and open the coin collector. Get down on the floor with a flashlight so you can see inside and cautiously use a choptsick, or your fingertip to see if the little rotating impellor at the back of the opening is hung up. Start with very light level of poking and increase very slowly, but never apply a lot of force as it's possible to shear off one of the blades. Often if you lie on the floor you can see the stuck object, which helps in the removal.

Another thing to check is whether a hung-up drain pump drew enough current to trip your circuit breaker.

Do you get no indicator lights, or is it indicator lights but no filling and wash action? The first would point to a break in your power supply (breaker, fuse, etc.) and the later to an internal thing in the machine.

It might be your circuit board. My same washer just died and the tech came and has to replace the circuit board. When I pushed start, I could hear a click like the cycle is going to start and the water would start to fill but it just sits and does nothing.

I had a dime stuck before and they came out and fixed it, but in that instance, it would fill and wash, but it couldn't drain the water, so the cycle would wash and fill but never drain.

The problem with the machine is the brushes in the motor.
They wear out and loose contact with the commutator on the armature causing an open circuit. The motor is constantly changing speed (rpm) and reversing its direction.

This is the second time this has happened to me. The first set lasted approx 10 years the second set about 5. The brushes are the weak link in the system.

It takes about 20 minutes to remove the motor from the machine. you need a 13mm wrench and 13mm 3/8 dr socket. There are two philips screws on each brusholder and one wire. I takes longer to R an R the motor than replace the brushes.

There are brushes available on ebay. I took a close look studied the pictures and ordered what I thought was a match, and got the right ones. there are several different brushes for different machines and a lot of manufactures use the same motor.

The link attached is for the brushes that fit my w 6221 2001 vintage. If you check ebay europe you can find them cheaper but shipping is longer about 2wks.

Most domestic parts suppliers charge up to 72.00 per brush
I ordered 4 thinking i was getting two pair and got 4 pair and paid 15 lbs. for all delivered.

I got mine on Ebay.
