The tub spins and everything else seems to work fine. The appliance seems to be in good condition and is installed indoors. I found a similar post here If those same instructions apply to my particular model I'll proceed with the continuity testing in the morning. Thanks. And great forums!

Looking at the machine I can't tell the best route of entry. Is it best (possible?) to go in through the top, front, or back? Thanks.

FYI

The back is the best route to take. My thermal fuse was blown. It's eerie how just talking to myself on this forum has helped me solve the problem.

Out of curiosity is there a way to test the cycling thermostat with an Ohm meter? It has 4 leads. The circuit between the 2 outside leads is closed; between the 2 inside it is open.
