But no motor action. #1 I checked inline motor fuse it looked ok. But direct wired it anyway :) #2 Motor LED flashes constantly 1sec on 1sec off What sensor might no be letting the motor start? What should I check next? Washing backing up here in Montana :(

Machine is just over a year old.... Motor LED binks on / off every one second constant. Water fills and drains but it just won't activate the motor. Should I cut lid wires and connect to be sure?
