On the connector it changes from the Black with white stripe to a black wire with a red stripe. this wire runs to the timer one that cycles the spin,wash rinse cycles. It has a lot of lint so I may use my small air compressor to blow all the lint away. I get continualty all the way to this timer.I was able to download the manual. Thanks

I am also not getting voltage to the main red wire that feeds every thing from the main plugin. I set it to 500ac. I get 120 volts to the black wire that feeds every thing from the plug. It must be from the main plug or in the electrical box that the plug is wired to. Probably lint buildup or something.
