Machine is finding a problem during the initial diagnostucs on startup. Check for damp, condensation on the carbon brushes or worn brushes. Also check for earth leakage.
Brushes are easy enough to replace. May have to take the motor out but you might be able to get at them by tilting the machine back. If they look damp, blast them with a hairdryer first. Also if they're worn, give them a tap. Then see if machine starts
