with an Ohm meter for continuity. The switches should
have continuity according to their design.

have failed. The motor coupling connects the motor to
the washer transmission. It is designed to fail if the
washer is overloaded in order to protect both the motor
and transmission.

worn out. Over time the drive belt will fail just from
normal use . Replace the belt every three or five years
depending on how much the washer is used.
