That's a beautiful machine. Hope you can keep it going for a long, long time. 1972 was a GOOD year, all the way around!! What kind of agitator does it have? Barry | ||

Bad Motor Or Timer Or Both Look at the bottom of the motor and unplug the orange and the gray wires, the orange is medium speed and the gray wire is extra-low speed.
Then run the washer through the regular cottons-heavy cycle, if it runs ok without the motor overheating you have a bad timer, if it still overheats you have a bad motor.

You beat me to it! That’s exactly where I was headed combo52. The timer feeding more than one speed at one ime. This vintage machine had some timer issues. | ||
