Mark for Model Number 110.26901691 I have replaced the timer, overhauled the gear box with a neutral drain kit, replaced the motor with a used motor from ebay and still having trouble. I jumpered the wires to bypass the timer and when I plug it in, the washer agitates for 10 seconds, then stops. I unplug the power and, after 15 seconds, I hear a switch in the motor click on. Please help!
Answer Mark, That sounds more like an overload in the motor is "opening" due to overheating. you'll need to verify you're testing the motor correctly. If the issue was a capacitor, the motor wouldn't run, or would only hum. You need to make sure you're "jumping" all the correct wires and contacts at the timer in order to send the power to the correct contacts on the motor, to make it run properly. Also check and make sure there is no excess drag on the gear case. turn the coupler Clockwise, should be a little easy to turn, Counter clockwise, will be a bit difficult. perhaps, the "used" motor is the issue.
