As stated the symptoms are totally inconsistent. For the amplifier to work the mains transformer must be working and if the mains transformer is working the indicator lamp should be lit. As for the motor not working that's totally independent from the transformer.

Assuming the symptoms have been correctly reported you have multiple faults which for some reason manifest themselves simultaneously,

You're going to have to get yourself a DMM (Digital Multi Meter) in order to carry out diagnostic tests.
