Motor for Whirlpool Washer

[combo52]

Has the belt ever been replaced probably yes

If you can’t see any difference between your new belt and the old belt, don’t waste your time replacing it, but if it’s cracked or badly worn on the sides, definitely replace it.

Installed motor. I have orange wire motor has red wire . Also motor had a purple wire washer does not. Does the orange go with the red.

We did get the motor in. I thought the motor was only thing wrong because the washer would just stop and, in an hour, would start back up again. Washer still will not start just slight humming noise.
Most likely will return the motor in a few days and retire this washer> Wish they still made them like this. Spray rinses after wash & rinse cycles, suds saver, warm rinses. Thanks everyone for the help & suggestions I really appreciate it. It was nice that my son in law worked hard to try to find solutions as well.

Not dead yet-does motor run by itself off a cheater cord?,with the belt off? I found a spare Emerson that looks like the motor you just got-i will see what wires to hook up to run motor out of the washer.There is a start capacitor on the motor that could be bad also,fail to start under load.With that small pulley,a good motor should burn the belt if washer pulleys locked up or binding.
