    If the machine is plugged in, try another item in the socket e.g. hair drier or lamp. Does the other appliance work?

    Check plug connections and change the fuse with another appliance of the same fuse type/rating.

    If the washing machine is “hard wired” into the wall, does the power switch light up when turned on?

    Yes: There is power at the switch, so the appliance must be the problem.

    No: There isn't power at the switch or socket on the wall.

    Check the household fuse box. If all is okay, you may need an electrician to check the socket and household wiring.
