Back to the shield that is located on the bottom of the motor.
What is it's purpose, to shield the floor from the heat of the motor or something else?
Thanks.

Answer Hello Randall, the motor shield's purpose is to prevent dust, ect from being sucked into the fan blades that are used to cool the motor down. Thanks!

Answer Hello Randall. You need to check and see if the counter spring W10250667 has broke or came off under the unit. If so, it will cause the issue you are having with the unit.
Is there some sort of protection on this machine for an overloaded motor, a breaker or some sort of automatic shutdown ?
Seems there is a slight electronic smell in the vicinity of the machine when it has been ran. Might be something else.
thanks

Answer Randall, Yes there is a safety device built into the motor, called an "overload" when the motor is operating, and there is an excessive "drag" on the motor, the overload will open and eliminate power to the motor windings. A quick, easy check is to use a multi meter, and insert the probes into the vacant receptacle of the outlet, and check the "static" voltage(110 to 120 VAC) then start the washer, in a regular cycle with or without a load, observe the meter readings at each cycle (fill, wash, drain spin, etc.). You must maintain a minimum of 108 VAC for proper operation, the lower the voltage, the more likely you'll have an odor, any voltage below 105 VAC will cause the motor to stall, produce an odor and smoke and overheat and open the overload.
