Got a Maytag Centennial washer that my wife and daughter bought a garage sale when I was out of town. Guaranteed to work. It does not. The washer fills and agitates but does not drain. There is a 60 Hertz buzz. I manually drained the tub and pulled the direct drive pump. It is not jammed. I restarted the drain cycle without the pump installed and I get the same buzzing noise. I assume that the motor is not spinning in the reverse direction. Are there separate motor starting capacitors for the forward and reverse direction? What's the next step?

Those are known for broken or burnt connections at the motor terminal. Pull the wide plug off the motor and inspect. If nothing there follow them back looking for issues. Just the one capacitor.
