I am trying to fix a washing machine that I sent to my wife in Nicaragua.(maytag LAT8616AAE)
It fills with water, then the motor tries to spin. But only spins if I help it to start by pulling on the belt. Then it goes through the wash part on the timer. But when the timer changes to rinse, it does not drain or spin.
(Does the motor drain and spin by reversing?) I tried pulling the belt the other way, but the motor only wants to spin the same direction.
(Also, 1: the voltage at the house is very low: 95 - 100 volts
2: I saw on the wiring diagram that the export models have a capacitor connected to the motor). I want to return with the correct part. Please help if you can. Thank you.
