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 tohttp://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.

Just a guess, the motor control module has blown. *Check motor brushes &
commutator for wear. *The clicking noise is probably the timer switches
opening & closing.

My Hotpoint stops after filling up if the water is too cold for the program
and waits for the heater to get the water to temperature; can't remember if
the programmer 'ticks' whilst it's waiting though. If yours has a cold fill
only then that may be the problem and the heater has failed; if it's got hot
and cold fill, try it on the lowest temperature program and see if it runs.
A failed thermostat could also cause this problem but I'd expect it to boil
the water if it's failed in the 'cold' position.

Its got both cold and hot fill so I dont think its that. Also, tried
it on cold setting - same.
