Or possibly a split phase? If variable speed, today, almost certainly
BDC.

The spin/agitate motor is direct drive, 3-phase brushless motor, with a
rotor position sensor. It is made in the inside-out configuration, and
about 9" diameter.

The two pump motors are built very much like the old phonograph motors, but
appear to have a permanent magnet in the rotor. They have ONLY one winding.
No capacitors, and as far as I know, the pumps are not variable speed.
