Hi.

You need to determine if this is the timer or the motor.
Wiggle the timer knob when washer stops. If it's starts right away-replace the timer.
Check if the motor overheats. Remove the pump from the motor, disconnect motor from the transmission and try it without the load.

The motor Part number: 661600

:confused: I did what U said and it still does the same thing. start- stops! Wiggle timer, tap timer it still won't start. Wait a few mins. and it runs then stops. Art

I tested the motor on the floor unattached to transmission, and it did the same thing . (run- stop) The pump was aslo not on motor!:(

As I said B-4 the motor runs 4 a min then stops. Motor is not hot 2 touch, as it is on towel without pump on it and it stops after a min. of running. I hooked everything up to operate washer. I had low water level and it filled to that level and stated running 4 a min then stopped. I tried spin cycle,it didnot run. I waited 4 a min and it started 2 spin 4 a min. then stopped as usual. I noticed after several start stops that the dial on timer did not move where i placed it. Could this timer B defectived? Thank U 4 all the advice on trouble shooting this problem!!!:confused:

The motor is not hot when it runs. My local sears has motor 4 $110, but will not take back if it does the same thing as this one! I also checked cap.for reliability and is was @199. I hooked everything back up and it filled 2 low water level & started up and quit in a min. waited and it ran and stoped, which it did over & over. The dial on timer did not move off where iI turned it to on wash or spin cycle. Could that B my problem? This machine is my wifes favorite and wants me 2 get it working as the new ones do not have the cycles she wants. I had hair B-4 this, now I look like Kojak! Thanks 4 all you help!:D
