According to the information you provide us, the defect you are experiencing may be due to several reasons such as excessive stretching of the drive belt or worn bearings. First, regarding the motor, it is a 2-speed motor with 7 wires, one of which is a ground wire. When performing tests on the terminals, you must identify the starting terminal by looking for the one with the highest resistance. It is important to only connect it at the moment of starting. The working winding (washing) consists of 4 poles, each pole being a group of coils. It should be traced to the output. As for the rotation winding, it is composed of 2 poles. To test the permanent start capacitor, you can use a tester by setting it to the highest scale. Its value should be zero and return to infinity once charged. You can also test it by connecting it to the line for a second, making sure to cover it with cardboard in case it bursts. Once charged, you must bridge the terminals that should produce sparks. Finally, it is essential to individually test each motor speed and check the consumption according to the indications on the nameplate. By following these steps, you will be able to perform an adequate repair of your washing machine.
