Just checked and it doesn’t spin on regular or gentle cycle either . Crap! Thought I lucked out. Well I hope this one lasted long enough to find a new vintage one. | ||

 None of this is a death sentence. Low speed isn't working. Bad speed switch, burned/shorted wire, bad motor, wrong (one-speed) motor as suggested above, maybe some other possibilities. The timer is probably not involved on this machine because of the separate speed switch. Anything is fixable ... new parts, used parts, whatever ... depends how much you want to spend, and if overall condition of the machine justifies it to end up with something more robust than those three new failures. | ||

This is way too nice of a machine to give up on yet. I wouldn't think it would be anything major, but IMO I would just use the heavy duty setting. You get a fast spin plus more turnover in agitation, just use a shorter wash time. | ||

Im not giving up on this machine. I really like it. The guy I bought it from just wrote that he didnt replace the motor. If the motor was bad, would it still run at all? The only thing replaced was locking dogs per previous owner. | ||

Hi Finn
I wouldn't think it too expensive or difficult to replace the was action switch.
You might try to search for a Sears Parts Manual for that model machine. In the manual you should be able to find a part the number for the wash action switch, and with that number start search online. Once you have the part, you could call for someone to install it, if your not able. The tick tick sound? Couldn't hear it in your video. | ||
