Fills up with water, just doesnt turn at all. Seems to be making some

Empties water at end.

Any ideas? Motor problem?


Timer switch is rotating but the main motor isn't happy. Could be a bad
connection on the motor or burned contacts in the switch. Hop on over to
http://www.partselect.com/ and type in the model number. You should get
the parts breakdown drawings and schematic, along with the available
repair parts. There should also be a wiring diagram on the inside cover
of the washer itself. Unplug it and shut off the water before diving in.

Armed with the model number you might also find a copy of the
maintenance manual on the web, with a little digging.
