washer will fill up timer seems to advance there is a buzz from underneath and then after a few minutes of buzzing it shuts itself off. I have had it apart and motor couplings are good. even had the transmission case apart and everything appears to be ok there. after buzzing for a few minutes the motor does feel warm. I can turn motor coupling and shaft by hand. wondering what to do now?

Motor overload is tripping because motor won't rotate. Remove cabinet and jump out lid switch. Pull pump off back of motor and see if motor runs without it. If so, pump is jammed. If not, in agitation mode with motor humming, spin motor shaft (pump removed) CCW to see if it will start. For spin mode, spin motor shaft CW. Don't leave motor just humming for any length of time, bad for capacitor (which may already be the problem) and motor windings. Possible faults are timer, capacitor, motor switch, motor, faulty wiring connection. If you can't get the motor to start by spinning the motor pump end shaft, remove motor and set on floor and try same thing there, spinning motor shaft when it is just humming to see if it will start.
