No fuse that one knows of..
But water getting into electric motor or anything else powered by current isn't a good thing.
I'll leave it to others more qualified for detailed explanation, but if motor is now shorted out you may need to replace. www.sos-parts.com/washing... Just as a test, plug a different electric appliance into same outlet after resetting breaker, preferably something with motor. If it runs without an issue, then wiring is likely fine, and washer is probably culprit. How much water got into motor? | ||

Something happened So I I put my phone by the ringer washer motor when I reset the breaker and every single time I reset it it seems like it turns on for like a split-second and it clicks off again | ||

Wet motor My advice would be to thoroughly dry the motor, using a hairdryer or similar, then try it. Be sure it really IS dry, though, perhaps two hairdryer sessions a few hours apart. Don't get anything hot enough to burn/melt the insulation, take your time.... It's not a race! ;-) All best Dave T | ||

Over load protection
System in your home's electrical panel is doing what it should. Something is causing that motor to short, pull more current than it should, etc... In response it is tripping circuit breaker. Better this than fry motor and or damage electrical wiring, potentially cause a fire and so on.
Dave's suggestion about using a hair dryer is a common one in these situations, and worth giving a go. If you feel comfortable dismantling motor from washer it would be easier to "dry out" working on a bench or something. This while motor is out using a multimeter test wiring for readings.
