timer possible the circuit of the motor's start winding is made through the timer so the problem could be there.If nothing found there could check the motor and wiring. | ||

I'm thinking timer, at that point turning on one winding but not the other. The motor won't start with one winding but it will draw a lot of current and trip the overtemp.
Correct me if I'm mistaken about how this machine works as I've never seen one, just BD WPs (one direction), GEs and MTs (reversing). | ||

I'm no expert but I would check its lid switch.Sometimes,the older Whirlpool made washers would get their lid switch to brake. Sometimes from the age of the unit along with chemicals used that can make the plastic parts brittle.Others from abuse like slamming of their lid.The humming though would not necessarily mean that this is the problem. I'd check it anyway since it's an older model.Another suggestion is that the humming noise may be a solinoid like the ones used to operate the different dispensers i.e. bleach and fabric softener.
