Washing machine motor won't start, bad triac ?

After reflowing everything on the controller board and reseating

The motor of the washing machine spins for a few degrees and
stops. You can get it to spin (slowly) by pulling on the belt
but only in one direction ! Lots of sparks inside the motor.
The brushes are good and the motor seems mechanically fine.
I suspect the triac (ST BTB16 600CI). Plausible ?
Thanks in advance.
does the motor have a start capacitor and a centrifugal
speed switch to disconnect it?
