Question:

Washing Machine AC motor diagnosing?

My washer is acting up sometimes it will go into spin cycle sometimes it won't I have torn it down and can see the motor and can make the problem come back by cycling the lid (so the motor turns on and off until finally it doesn't come on again). The motors has 5 wires going to it. I put a multimeter on the two termianls that had 120 volts going to them and when I check continuity between the terminal and ground (case of the motor) there is one terminal that when the motor is working properly there is continuity but when the motor is 'stuck' there is no continuity.Does this mean the motor has a deadspot? What is the best way to diagnose if the motor is bad? which of the 5 wires should I check.The washer is WJSR2070B2WW

Answer:

May be a bad relay or the cycle motor has a short or gone bad
