Tested motor switch cycle combinations for continuity (4?), good (BTW, I’m a novice with a multi-leader tester) Inspected Timer, cleaned a few suspect terminals (no changes in behavior, so I dont think I screwed that up) Inspected pump and discharge lines – clear, impellers look good and spins freely (water is discharged without any apparent impediment, again the issue is intermittent) Read nearly every DIY webpage and video and replaced a few parts to no avail! Initial troubleshooting started with a new lid switch following little research effort. Why do I think this? Because I can push timer switch in to turn it off, let it stand for 15-30 minutes, pull the timer switch out and the motor engages and resumes its cycle thru completion. This happens occasionally and I’ve been thinking that the motor is getting overheated after a heavy load or a few small loads and shuts down. The smell of a hot electrical motor was present, but not overloaded.
Filled, agitated, drained, filled again, then hummed. For example, today I ran the washer empty following a new part. The humming sound occurs after the machine fills the tub with rinse water and attempts to engage the rinse / spin cycle. Family of six (and the laundry is building up!).
