Maytag Washer Error Code Lr

My Maytag Neptune front load washing machine stopped working and displays the Lr error code which means that the motor is not operating properly. Would replacing the motor solve this problem and would it be easy enough for a do-it-yourselfer? No special tools needed?

I am going to link you to a service manual for your model.

It doesn’t say so, but your model is discussed in detail at the back.
