    When i connect blue and yellow the cool is energized and I can make it spin my manually turning the shaft. It's the starter supposed to be on a momentary switch or something?

      Yes starter is literally a momentary button on the dryer panel next to the timer

        Okay so far
        Yellow and red
        Blue and white
        This makes counterclockwise rotation

        Switching white and red makes clockwise rotation.

        What does black do?

          The things that look like inductors in the schematic are the windings and the thing in the circle is the armature.

          White and red go across your motor and are where the main current draw happens when it is running. It should only spin one way--the way that makes sense with the agitator's vanes.

          Black and blue run to your Start and Run switches (or relays behind them). Motors, especially heavy ones, require a ton of current/torque to start from stationary, compared to what it takes to keep them running.
          The Starter switch briefly sinks some current from the armature's loop to charge its own winding (and - ideally - get the motor spinning a little); once the motor (and basket, and laundry) has some inertia it can be switched to "run" which just powers the motor normally (current blue to yellow and current white to red).

            Nothing disconnected the starter winding and it just started to smoke.

              Yeah if you got black mixed up with white it'd frick that coil up. Or any number of those other combos of random connections that were bound to break something

      Shouldn't you be in a YouTube comments section discouraging people from servicing they're own appliances?

    you need the run capacitor mate, as these kind of motors need a 90 degree "phase" rotation to operate properly

      I can't find a cap anywhere in the washing machine.

      I can't find a cap anywhere in the washing machine.

      built into the motor housing something like 98% of the time, in something that big
