Thanks. Very similar in layout to my 1973 Panasonic. I wish to Hirohito I still had it. These were mechanically straightforward. Simple reduction pully on the wash side and 1800RPM direct drive on the spinner, standalone pump. Really nothing to go wrong but seals. And a joy to actually "DO" laundry instead of just loading and unloading it.

For all I know my Panasonic was really a rebadged Hitachi for the Hawaii market. Panasonic Hawaii and Panasonic US were two separate companies and I don't think this ever sold on the mainland. I mean, if nobody HERE ever heard of one but me....
I could take the passenger seat out of my 67 VW and put the washer in it without assistance. And I was no Schwartzenegger. Could take towels or shirts out of the spinner and use them. Magnificent design at a very low priceline. | ||

Never had to work on mine. Know something about working on washers in general but not enough to talk you through it. Do you have a voltmeter/ohmmeter? The path is from the line, through the timer, through the safety/door switch, to the motor. May not necessarily go in that order, you have to follow the wires. Quite often there was a schematic inside the rear cover, if yours does and if that helps you.
That was a fairly special motor, that was not harmed (shortterm) by a stall condition. That's why no transmission is needed. It may utilize a capacitor, which tend to fail with age. Without it, the motor won't start. All you'd need to do is match the value printed on the capacitor, it doesn't have to be the "exact factory" part. It had a tub brake so it is hard to tell if the motor is free with the lid open. You could unscrew the lid and lower the hinge to the 'closed' position to confirm it's able to rotate by hand. If I were in the PacNW I'd come help you with it just for the joy of seeing it operate. | ||
