Washers and DryersI am having a problem with my washer where it doesn't spin. I had a technician look at it and they diagnosed it to be the clutch motor. It ran for a few days after replacing it but started to have the same problem. I had a different technician look at it and they said it is the clutch motor again and the drive motor also. I have taken out the two parts and run resistance tests against them. The motor seems to be fine showing a resistance of 5.3 ohms between terminals A & C and 10.4 ohms between terminals A & M. But, the clutch motor indeed seems to be bad as it shows a resistance of 1108 ohms between the two terminals. What could be killing the clutch motor over and over? These are expensive repairs costing more than what I paid for the unit. What are my options at this point?

Washers and Dryersif your repairs are costing more than a new unit, you may as well buy a new unit.

Washers and DryersThank you for your response. I have already replaced the unit, but this one is sitting in my garage. I would like to fix it and either keep it as a backup or sell it. Do you have any suggestions on the resistance readings or what I should replace next?

Washers and DryersNah, I know nothing about that stuff. I just have a rule of thumb about repair vs replace cost.
