Lee - I agree with everyone else - get the machine. This sounds like exactly what you have told me you're looking for. Here are some areas I would check regarding the motor operation: 1) Check all wiring connections, starting with the timer quick-connect block all the way to the leads on the motor start switch. Something could have come disconnected, just as Robert said. With this being a large capacity machine, motor wiring is very close to the floor and something could have pulled off a wire, even a dolly cart. 2) Check the water level switch, it may not be sending current to the motor. A way to verify that is to check if the machine operates at a neutral portion of a cycle. I always use the final spin. 3) Finally, the timer may be bad. This era of Whirlpool and Kenmores commonly have dead spots in their original timers, especially Mallory versions. Early on, the dead spots are just momentary pauses when the timer advances, but as the problem worsens, a timer will be completely dead in a cycle phase. To be honest, I have not seen very many Whirlpools like this one that didn't have timers issues if the timer was original. Timers can be found inexpensively on ebay. Gordon |
