well it is most likely the timer but do this first. Remove the timer and look for corrosion on the quick plug and remove the timer barrel cover and look fr burned marks on it.

You can wiggle the timer knob to verify bad contacts, although sometimes that does not work.

Okay still doing it only my wife says that if she turns the basket then closes the lid it starts. she says she may have to do this a few times but it starts. Still think it is the timer?

I have the same brand of washing machine. I have same problem did the same thing. Problem still occur. How do I fix a dead spot on the motor winding or better yet what is the fix.

Of course, you are technically correct. However, I have seen motors with weaknesses, such as eroded or insufficient insulation on the wires of the windings. This was enough to cause a no start condition if that weakness were positioned "just so"; where just a little coaxing in one direction or another influenced it to start. We would consider that as a "dead spot" rather than drag the customer through a scientific treatise on the theory of motor operations.
Dead spot or no, this condition warrants a motor replacement.
