It's about 13 years old model DW3200O1 a few weeks ago it woudn't fill with water, I figured water valve time. I received the valve today. I removed the lower panel and decided to turn the washer on one last time and it started filling with water and shut off when it reached the correct level but now the motor doesn't start washing. I hear a click below and I see the dial on front moving through the wash stages but no motor engaging no washy no drainy :confused:
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like a wire came loose. Helpfull to have a meter to check things. The click you hear is the motor start relay. Run current is going in the motor but no start current. Need to check start relay wires.

Oddly, I drained and bailed the water out and took the pump out, there was a old rusty bolt that was under the thin metal plate above the seal at the base...I have no idea how it got under that plate unless it was there at manufacturing...it had corroded enough to slip out from under the plate and lodge against the spinning part of the pump.....once I got that out the motor turned free, It seems to work fine now...
Part of the bolt was rusted to the underside of the thin metal plate....that's how I knew where it came from
Thanks for your reply though...Just glad it's working...Wife was gett'n a lil :eek: with me...lol
