Scott for Model Number LSR7233EQ0 Wash tub fills, motor hums then burning smell, took off pump and motor, transmission shaft spins easy, motor shaft spins easy, motor shaft will spin slowly when helped manually, but still hums and does not pick up speed. Capacitor, timer, lid switch, or motor? What should I order or what should I test?
Answer Scott, If the motor is humming, this would eliminate the lid switch and timer. You can test to see if it is the pump that may be seizing up by removing the pump from the motor and see if it will operate normally. If it does then check the pump for restrictions. If the pump is clear then replace the pump. If with the pump off it still does not work properly then replace the motor. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Saturday, April 27, 2013
