Start windings (black to yellow) 5 ohms - GOOD
High Speed windings (blue to white) 1.6 ohms - GOOD
Low Speed windings (white to white/violet) 0.3 ohms - PROBLEM
Does that fit the symptom of no drain?
Is it worth fixing?
What about wht to wht/orn on the motor? (extra low speed)
When agitation stops, does the motor attempt to start in drain mode? Does the timer continue to move?
Assuming the lid switch is good, if the motor doesn’t attempt to start for drain, I think you have a bad timer.
The low reading on the low speed winding does indicate a problem however, the motor always starts in high speed regardless if it’s agitate, drain, spin, or selected speed via the speed switch. Drain in normally in high speed only anyway.
A clear picture of the wiring diagram and timer chart is needed to help you troubleshoot with multimeter. The different models have variations in the way they are wired.
Eric> What about wht to wht/orn on the motor? (extra low speed)
Has none.
Eric> When agitation stops, does the motor attempt to start in drain mode?
Silence after the click of the timer at the end of the agitation
Eric> Does the timer continue to move?
No. I thought it was waiting for a level switch to say the water is low enough to spin.
Manually advancing the timer does nothing.

Diagram and timer chart are visible there on the machine. I can read wiring diagram but have no understanding of what the timer chart is saying or how to test it.
Can you upload a clear photo of the wiring diagram and timer chart? According to the sears parts website, your washer has a 3-speed motor which would have the extra connector with wht/vio and wht/orn wires. The water level switch only places the machine in agitation mode and provides power to the timer motor during agitate. At the end of agitate mode, a set of timer contacts (#2)(pressure switch bypass) close to provide power to the timer motor and main drive motor. This is in series with the lid switch, so it appears to be either a bad lid switch, timer, or faulty wire connector/connection.
