Whirlpool Awm6140/3

[reaper]

Just changed the tub of this machine-there was a hole in it.I tested it for spin action before I did this it was ok.On reassembly it wont spin or fill.I press the start button, pump burps a little,spin lights ( bottom one and 800) start flashing,door open light comes on and pump starts.Looked at the motor, brushes etc OK.Cant see a break in motor cable but does it all go to one plug on the programmer? If so which one and perhaps I can test it from there.Anybody shine a light on this one Ive already spent too much time on it.

You’ve probably knocked the connector plug from the Door Interlock I expect?

Thanks Martin but tried that.Went back today with new interlock and motor harness.Circuit tested heater, stat,p/switch.Came to the conclusion that it was the programme switch-ber.Another junk m/c-I should have known better.Friend I got the tub from was boasting last week that he’d bought ten of these 6th sense m/cs for recons when he tested them 8 were timer faults-he scrapped them for bits.I’ve had a few of these late model w/pools with timer faults lately even more than Hotperloni and Servis junk so perhaps they deserve to join them on the scrapheap.
