Have you looked for a replacement motor? I had some motor fail on a
Kenmore washer and the local appliance dealer had the part.
Yes, I ordered a replacement part through Amazon.

Ugh, yet another story. The replacement pump has a thermoplastic pump
housing, while the original seemed like it was a thermoset. The pump leaked
where the two parts were joined with a raidal O-ring seal. Removing the
housing, it was visibly non-circular! So, I had to take the old housing and
O-ring and put them on the new pump. It is now back in operation, but I'm
not so happy about their crummy parts and the number of times I had to
disassemble the thing to make it right.
