My Kenmore by Whirlpool washing machine, model *, has no power to the motor. The door switch and water level switch are okay. There is voltage to the control board, and the door switch has been eliminated as a problem. When the level switch is tested manually, there is a humming sound either coming from the pump motor or the fill valve. The door switch was bypassed with a jumper wire, but the problem remained. The electrical diagram is missing, and I'm not sure if the washer will go into a wash cycle with the door open. What could be causing the issue, and how can I troubleshoot it further?

I replaced the motor and element in my dryer, tested the switches, and power is available and comes on. However, when I press the start button, nothing happens for 3-4 seconds, then there's a click like a relay. The dryer stopped working, and I found the element was half bad and the motor had an electrical burn smell. I ordered and installed both parts, and tested the door switch, but it seems everything works except the start button. What could be the issue, and what should I check next?

My GE dryer (model dsxh47eg1ww) will not run, and the 'clean lint filter' light is on (solid green). I have cleaned lint from everywhere, have electricity, but the unit will not run. The 'clean lint filter' light won't clear, and the unit beeps with all LEDs flashing, while the 'clean lint filter' LED stays lit steadily. Where is this sensor located, and can I bypass it to check the issue?
