The motor for the capstan has failed - mechanical failure. This is unfixable, the entire mechanism will have to be replaced. Your local repair shop will be able to source one from a defective unit kept for parts. This will be quite expensive so ask an estimate, you might find that it will be more cost effective to just buy a new combo unit.
This canbe due to many faults and need a full check up but I can fill up with few tips.
1. if the cassette loads and the take up spool does not turn then the machine will shut and rewind.
2. If the take up spool rotates but then it shuts down then the reel sensor at the bottom of the forward wheel can be faulty- there are opto devices or proximity sensors/magnetic type.
3. If the drum does not rotate it will shut down as well a fault in the SERVO section.
4. Defective HALL IC can shut the switching and so the servo will shut down the processor.
5. fault in the power section to deliver the correct voltage to the circuits/loading servo to take up.
6. Finally if the loading is not to the MODE swittch point or failure of mode can make the loading to trip back to rest.
Hope you are able to check these tips.
