1 Answer Bob, the speed switch 134404200 would need to be tested for continuity when set to normal agitate and normal spin. There should be continuity from terminal 2 to terminal 5, and from terminal 4 to terminal 5. There should not be continuity at any other terminal sets. If the switch fails, it will need to be replaced. If the switch passes, the spin basket and tub will need to be inspected for obstructions. From there, the drive belt 134511600 would need to be inspected for excessive wear. If these all check good, then it is likely that the motor 134159500 is failing. Read More...
Roger February 16, 2020 for Model Number WWS833ES1 Can a bad capacitor cause the motor to run one way but not the other way.
1 Answer Roger, The capacitor would not cause the motor to turn one direction and not the other. This would more likely be a motor issue. Read More...

Adler, R. July 27, 2016 for Model Number fws86600es0 Hello, My top load washer spins but do not agitate. Belt is ok, transmission is fine, I have continuity in the lid switch, and I just replaced the timer, still no result. My only bet now is the motor. What is your return policy if replacing the motor does not work? Thank you, Adler

Samantha January 15, 2016 for Model Number FEX831CS0 The washer is not spinning. Belt is fine. We replaced the lid switch because it appeared burned. Then when plugged it back in, it filled, drained and agitated good. It will not spin. When it got to final spin stage, the belt tried to turn, seemed to stall and smoke appeared from the wiring harness at motor, any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Samantha, I would check the brake as it appears it could be engaged when the motor is engaged. The brake on this model is actually part of the transmission assembly 134735700. You should also pull the spin basket and make sure nothing is between the inner and outer tubs while verifying the integrity of the trunion bolt tightness. Read More...
Phillip June 23, 2015 for Model Number FWS1233FS1 Changed the motor, the timer, the wiring and the lid switch but still the machine would not wash or spin. Water comes in but no action at all, thanks.
1 Answer Hello Phillip. You will need to check the strike 131390000 and see if it is bad on the unit. If it is broke, it will cause the issue. Also, if it is good, then the pressure switch may be bad and prevent the unit from starting. Read More...
