It sounds like the pump or drain hose is blocked by something, and if the water does not drain away it will not spin properly.
The last resort would be the control module which is about one hundred and fifteen pounds, so check everything else first.
does f-05 come up on the display?? if so f-05 usually relates to either the pump being blocked or the sump of this particular model being full of coins, color catchers etc.
first keep it simple, ensure outlet hose is not blocked or kinked....but if not follow these steps
To sort this isolate from mains
take off back inspection panel.
tilt machine forward- get sum1 to hold it for u.
The sump is the black hose attached to drum.
place a basin under this and loosen jublie clamp using star head screw driver/ 8mm socket,
pull sump downwards and remove any blockage.
note the plastic ball is part of the sump assembley.
refitt the sump again and tighten clamp, pull down firmly on sump to ensure fitted correctly
if there was nothing in the sump it is sumthing jamming the pump, hairgrip, nail, etc.
tilt machine forward as above with a basin ensuring isolated from mains power
pump is attached to other end of sump hose, right side of machine as you look in the back.
using flat screwdriver lift plastic tag up and slide pump assembley to the left releasing it from base of machine
clip of plastic cover from top of pump
remove wires from pump
u should now be able to turn pump around so u can see 3 hex head screws

If the drum is turning then its most likely the tacho on the back of the motor or the wires connecting the tacho to the control panel. So the motor is turning but the panel can't control the speed so will switch off straight away. If the drum doesnt turn but you hear the motor kick, then the drum belt is broken...
If the water is clean, there is a problem with the water inlet valve, there may be a small piece of grit or similar preventing the valve from closing completely, or the rubber washer in the valve has either got hard or split and the valve is not sealing completely. There may be 2 valves, or a double and single valve in the machine, and to find out which one is leaking, the simplest solution is to ensure the soap dispenser is empty and dry, and put a piece of paper towel in each section, one of the pieces will be wet the next day, and it's the hose that is over that section that the water is coming from, follow that hose back and you should know which valve is not correctly sealing.

Sounds like a tacho fault. Could be you have a broken wire on the motor circuit. Tilt the machine back and take a look underneath at the wires leading to the motor. This is just to give you an idea if it is a broken wire, you shouln't try to repair it like this, you would need to remove the front panel to allow yourself enough space to affect a repair. For a workshop manual on the WMA66 which would give additional help and advice on dismantling and rebuilding as well as fault finding click on the link.
Remove the belt, and spin drum by hand from inside, there should be little or no noise, if there is then it is possible the drum bearings are failing.
I f no noise, but there is when you put belt back on, then possibly bearing in motor noisy
does not Pump or Spin
