Checked motor it turns freely by hand as do the pump and transmission. Belts are Ok. Checked leads to every thing and there is no corrosion. There is power and cord is good. Looked to see if there was an overload protection but could not find one. There is no burnt smell and the washer was used yesterday and did not make any unusual noises. I do not know what else to check - any help will be greatly appreciated.
