A poor connection in motor plug could have same effect as worn carbons. BTW should that be awm6100?

Certainly, the carbons being down do cause some Whirlpool machines to stop dead at varying points in the programme with a door lock fault indication.
Sometimes a break in a motor wire can occur but be still holding by the insulation. This is often caused when the motor connector falls off its bracket and is able to waggle about during spin. (I hope you’re not my grandmother.)….

(Especially as she’s been gone a very long time, God bless ‘er.)

PS. I had a look at your website and like its simple lines. Is it just not running right though, or is it a work in progress?
