I have a washer that completely stopped with no sound when turned on. I read a post on removing the agitator and seeing if the transmission shift turns when turned on, it does not. I watched this sites videos on removing the motor and transmission, which made it easy. With the machine in the upright position I let the electrical wires hang out the bottom backside. I connected the electrical wires to the motor laying behind the machine on the floor and turn the spin cycle on. The motor did not spin. Is this a valid test? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
