bought used(yeah, probably bad idea) and after just 2 weeks it wont spin or agitate.

checked motor windings, all read about 11.8 ohms(so should be good). there is a buzzing noise coming from the back of the unit that comes and goes. pump works. when i start a cycle it will fill fine and then drain fine but no spin. the only error code i have had is 0E, online i have heard it could be either the water valve or water pressure sensor.

i have the tech manual and will go ahead trying to diagnose tomorrow, but any heads up on what it might be please let me know.

i would like to know what the buzzing noise i hear is. it is there with the unit turned on or off(it is louder when unit is turned on), sometimes it will disappear, and it slowly fades when the plug is pulled.

so after looking in to it more it i have basically the exact same situation this person had:
http://forum.appliancepartspros...d-motor-hall-sensor.html

no response to their question. i was leaning toward a bad control board but now i suspect the hall sensor. i get exactly the same readings posted in link. i am having a hard time tracking down exactly what ohm resistance i should be seeing. i will do a running voltage test tomorrow. any help would be appreciated.

just updating this for the sake of googlers. i tested the hall sensor via the service manual. pins 4/2 and 4/3 on cn8 connector showed a dc voltage that varied between 0-3.75 as i hand spun the drum. this says the hall sensor was good so i decided to order a new control board. i installed that a few days ago and have run several loads without issue so that was my fix. i believe the buzzing i heard from the motor was likely a faulty relay on the control board.
