Is there any noise? I find it difficult to believe that both the motors would have failed together. Have you checked the fuses?

Yes, I've just had to replace one of mine because the motor burnt out, but if yours are working when moved by hand it can't be that. If you have changed the switch & checked the fuses(does everything else work?) then maybee try a BSI reset?
