Hi my name isXXXXX will be assisting you with this problem.Please allow me some time to do research and type a response to each of your posts.

Sounds to me like a bad start winding on the motor, Unfortunately this will need to be replaced.

Take the model number to a local appliance repair supplier and ask for the motor.
