I find it amusing that its for sale for $200 In the USA when something doesn't work you see it go to the street. In Canada when something doesn't work it may go to the street where it won't last long before the scrappers come or the owner takes it in himself... ( Ragnboneman watches for such...

any updates?

I saw this video in a youtube search and this guy also says Soda Ash, and I think thats not the same meaning as in America where its a mineral rather than real caustic soda or pot ash derived from washing out the active components from real ash.... The right kind of natural soaps for a wash...

My Gran used to use blue chalk to whiten her laundry. As a kid I remember seeing these in the basement where she was doing a wash.... Soap back then was different. it was real soap made from veg and animal fats and soda ash...

Sometimes a mild acid will remove stains Dilute phosphoric acid is a well known grout cleaner ( naval jelly ) A bleach might work ( not with acids ! ) Try peroxide, dish soap and a base like baking soda

It does not look burned. I would tease apart the connection end and see if you can find the open. If you can;t that is still a very simple 4 pole concentric coil single phase winding. This is what you start with when you apprentice in the motor shop... If you really wanted it bad enough you...

what sort of motor is in it? hard too adapt for anything but scabbed in manual function but these KBIC 240 drives can maker a motor scream ( provided its DC ) https://kb-controls.com/kbic-240-9428-scr-dc-drives-230-vac-input-0-180-vdc-output-thru-1-hp-open-chassis/

yup bad motor I think too. Doesn't look over heated a connection inside may have failed. Swap motors... I think you said something about a start cap on the other motor. Wire that in also.

If you were getting continuity between all three terminals of the relay/start switch I would think thats normal based on your drawing... An open would to me indicate a fried coil.

Take the components to a rewind shop and have them tested. Maybe its just the switch I would need to have it in front of me to test. If the relay is burned you should be able to pick that up on a continuity test. the rewind shop will be able to sell you a replacement part thats functionally...

You verified you have power going to the relay first and then out to the motor? The motor should hum if the contacts are bad but coil good in the relay. If you have no hum at all then the coil in the relay could be fried open. The motor should run if you connect power to it and it hums... and...

Arduino automation systems are getting easier to use. not simple but much easier than trying to wire a PC to a washing machine as I have seen done.. https://www.automationdirect.com/adc/overview/catalog/programmable_controllers/productivity_open_(arduino-compatible)

Thinking way out of the box here but years ago I had a lot of trouble getting contacts and repair parts for an obsolete Canadian brand called CLL. AUX contacts for controls are hard to get and I made them by peeling apart common things like Open frame relays and soldering the replacement...

Is there an electrical print on the machine you can post. I am wondering why the reading between R and S is so low... I am expecting it to be a little higher than S to C but its not A print might clear that up a bit Does this motor have bushing or ball bearings. I assume Bushing because of...

I would say there is nothing wrong with that motor R main... running winding C Common lead. S Start winding C is common pretty obvious The coil on your relay should be in series with the R ( assumption on my part not having the machine here to look at ) Start will be connected between the...

Well Anthony: Any what say you chum? Does any of this help?

If its not humming there is a problem! Check for continuity of the main winding of the motor and the coil in the starting relay... The later hotpoint is using a capacitor to give the AUX winding a bit more leading phase shift for more starting torque than the earlier one. It was quite common...

It will probably just hum until a protection device trips or the motor overheats the winding is damaged. Here is a video that explains how a single phase motor works ( split phase induction there are other unrelated types ) Does this help? Watch and feel free to ask questions. Its not very...

I see what you have. Looks like a current start relay. Ya see previous post about aftermarket parts solid state stating switch. That should fix you right up... here is another looks at one from an AC compressor or something...
