When I start my Gibson Washing machine it will fill and start the cycle for washing. After a couple of minutes it stops and does not start up for 2-3 minutes. Then it starts tumbling again and stops after a few minutes. When it starts I hear a humming sound that is normal. When it stops there is no sound. Could it be a sensor for overheating? Or is there another reason for the stopping and starting?

This sounds like your motor is failing. When your motor has problems, a thermal protection function shuts it down.

Given other problems that this model, which is a Frigidaire built machine, has had, and the fact that you have had 10 years+ usage I would say the time has come to replace it.

I called a repair man in and it turns out that the door lock is faulty. By replacing the lock that solved all the problems.

Interesting! That's unusual with your symptoms, but the door lock assembly does fail regularly on these machines, and I am glad to here you got it fixed.

Sometimes we don't get it right, so Thanks for the update
