I have checked the motor and control panel for fuses, and see none... I do not hear any noise coming from the motor. The basket and agitator do not spin by hand. I made sure all the connections were seated properly to the best of my knowledge. I do not see any visual signs of leaking or electrical malfunction. How should i proceed in trouble shooting?:confused:

If you take off the front panel exposing the tub motor etc. You will see the wire harness running down the right side. Toward the top you will see a black heat shrink section of wiring, inside here is a fuse.
