How can I fix my Hotpoint WM64 washing mashine?

if the drum cannot be turned by hand and the machine was getting noisy on spin cycle before belt snapped,it sounds as if you have a bearing problem(something that occurred quite often when the wm series first came out) hotpoint have a 5 year parts warranty and,depending on it's age,the machine should be repaired by them at a minimum cost to you by replacing the entire drum assembly.give the nearest hotpoint service centre a ring before doing "owt" else.
