Buzzing noise when knob is pulled out to start

Complaint: buzzing when timer knob pulled to start, no agitate or spin. Found motor hums in both directions and only takes off when hand-spun. Tested start capacitor 661606/WP8572717 – open. Inspected motor start (centrifugal) switch 3952056 – physically broken; switch no longer available separately. Start winding checked at motor plug pin 3 (Y) to pin 5 (W-BK): 7.9 ohms, OK. Motor hand-spins freely both directions; gearcase and coupling OK.

Repair: replaced main drive motor with WP661600 (includes start switch) and replaced start capacitor with WP8572717 (tested 220 µF, in spec). Ran unit through a cycle: fills, agitates, drains and spins normally, starts on its own in both directions with no hum. Repair complete.

Ice maker is not working, no ice

Complaint: ice maker not making ice; water dispenser working. Found frost buildup in the ice room around the ice maker preventing it from cycling. Removed all frost from the ice room with a steamer and cleaned the ice compartment. Replaced the ice maker assembly. Ran the ice maker test cycle on the new unit — harvest cycled correctly and the tray filled with water. Ice maker is operating normally. Allow up to 24 hours for full ice production to resume.
