I have a Maytag Atlantis washing machine. All of a sudden it is tripping the house circuit. When I reset it instantly trips circuit again. If I unplug washer, reset circuit and re-plugin washer there is a spark and the circuit trips again. If I use a diff outlet in the house, the washer will run but there’s a buzz/lights will flash and evenly the washer will stop. I tested the lid assembly and it seems OK the only thing I can think is the motor or ?? It's impossible to keep the washer plugged in without it tripping the house circuit. The outlet seems OK as I can keep the dryer running (after resetting). This just started happening a few days ago, prior to that it's been fine.

Here's a picture of the motor (i unplugged washer connector). I'm not sure how to test this either. I do have a multimeter, but I don't know which connectors to test for ohm, etc
