24inch wide "Kenmore" stacked unit. Model # 110.88752790 When start button is pushed (and held), frequently nothing happens. Sometimes when the start button is pushed (and held) there is a buzzing sound for approx 5 sec (and the drum tries to turn - slowly creeps) and then shuts off. With one hand on drum switch and the other pushing in the door switch, I was unable to assist in spin starting the drum with my missing 3rd hand. It appears to me that there may be two issues - the start button and the motor for the drum. The drum appear to rotate freely - subjective. The drum motor does not have a capacitor start like a typical fractional hp motor - correct?
Any specific recommendations to focus on to trouble shoot and repair? BTW, while searching for answers, I found a link on this forum to the service manual (one day after I paid for a copy of the manual). On the push to start switch, I understand NO (normally open) but what does CO mean? I presume the push to start switch is a momentary - correct? Which terminals on the motor plug do I check for continuity?
