The wife was just filling the washer today and lifted the lid and when she put it back down the washer just hummed. We advanced the timer through all settings with no change. If we let it hum it will trip the overload. The motor never tries to start. I can rotate the drum by hand and the agitator and drum seem to turn fine. I can place my hand on the motor and feel it hum so I'm not really thinking the lid switch unless it is a vibration hum but I don't think so. It just seems odd that raising the lid would start the problem.

Thanks Gene,
That's what it is looking like for all the searching I've been doing. Is the device on top of the motor actually a switch where the 6 wires connect? I found an online diagram to make a suicide cord to test the motor directly. Even with the age of this it's the first problem I've ever had and I'd rather fix it than buy a new one only to have it go out the month after the warranty does
