When I came to the washer because it was alarming, the tub was full of water, the timer dial was at rinse and nothing was happening. I pushed in the timer dial to stop the alarm. I don't know if the alarm went off by itself or pushing in the timer knob stopped the alarm. I pulled out the timer knob to continue the cycle but nothiong happened. I then, turned the timer dial to other places on the dial like spin, or wash and nothing happened, except the motor buzzed at each spot I pulled out the timer dial. I don't know if the washer completed the wash,drain spin cycles or if the washer filled up and did nothing more. Then I emptied the tub by hand. Then I turned the timer dial to wash and the water began to run. I stopped the water by pushing in the timer dial. Then I removed the water pump to see if it was blocked. It was not. I reinstalled the pump. Now I don't know why the motor just buzzed and did not run. I don't know what else to do. Can anyone help?

Sounds and acted like my Whirlpool did. I lost the low speed on a 2-speed motor. $99 for a new motor and I'm up and running again. On yours, let it buzz and see if the thermal cutout trips and the buzzing stops. That'll give you a good indication. I'm no pro, just telling you what worked for me.

Patroit says let it buzz and see if the thermalcutoff trips and the buzzing stops. What will this indicate?

In my case it was a bad motor. The motor field windings were hot to the touch before the thermal cutoff tripped. Mine would run on high speed in the super wash mode or spin cycle, but not the low speed or gentle agitation cycle.
Good Luck
