Just bought a used washer today. Owner said it worked great. Naturally I didn’t check it since it looked new and owner had nice home. Got it home, hooked it up and turned it on. It filled with water, but that is all. No agitate, spin, or even drain. Can’t feel or hear motor at all. The temp and level controls work and the on/off switch works to stop or start the filling. It is getting AC power. Is there an internal fuse or breaker or relay for the motor? I’m guessing the motor is dead. It looks new and doesn’t smell and the tub turns fine. The agitator seems a bit loose. .I thought about checking the voltage to the motor, but is has a number of different color wires going to a connector mounted on it. help!
Most probable problem is a bad/burnt overload you can see on the motor windings,( a white plastic disk), or just a bad connection on the centrifical switch mounted on the motor, just check.
does you timer runs?make sure time advanced.you will hear ticking noise in timer aswell wail it advanced,if timer is stuck does not advanced you need new timer,and also tell me if it is front loader or top loader?
I don’t think the timer advances. If I advance it manually, it only works to fill the washer - nothing else.
after it take water timer does advance by itself and it is also making ticking noise? you do not have a problem with lid switch at all,if you had a problem with lid switch it should atleast agitate it but not spinning
I noticed the left lid hinge was a little loose. Tightened it and voila! Machine now works! thanks.
lid switch does not make any sense by that situation
