not on its own. if i help it along by spinning it from the back it will spin in one direction slowly for about 1 to 2 minute and then stop. It seems to try moving the other direction but only move about 1/2 inch and stop.

Answer

It soundslike you have a bad motor control board but if you just replaced that i would check all the wiring for a broken wire from the motor to the motor control. If all that checks ou good then it has to be a bad timer not sending good power to the motor control board.

So it would not be a switch on latch or detergent switch?

Posted by Appliance Man 391 days and 8 hours ago.

Answer

If the machine is filling then the door should lock. If the door locks the the latch is ok. The switch on the dispenser just wont let it fill with water if the dispenser door is open.

ok thanks Any last thoughts or you 100% on timer?

Accepted Answer

Im 90% sure on the timer. 5% on maybe another bad motor control and 5% on a broken wire.
