Dying WH TL Washer It is either a bad timer or the motor centrifugal switch, if you can get the motor to start and run at any point on the timer over and over you do not have a bad CS, The CS on these WH motors are a weak point and difficult to fix, but anything is possible.
Getting to the CS is not easy, you have to remove the motor and dissemble the water pump and take the motor apart to even get to the CS, usually the motor shaft is very rusted and you will need at least a new pump seal etc.

Whelp, no joy on both running empty and also pressing the lid switch while trying to manually spin-start the tub. Sounds like the CS might be above my pay grade. | ||
