If your washing machine trips the electrics trips an RCD Residual Current Device fuse or other safety device then there is a number of simple checks that you can do in order to try to narrow down what the problem could be. Other possibilities include a blown fuse or breaker shutoff a broken belt or a burned-out motor.
A bad capacitor is just one possibility if the machine wont start at all. I pulled the main control board LG part 6870ec9245b and a 5W 0027Ohm resistor was cracked with signs of complete failure melted. My LG washing machine stopped powering up.
My washing machine whirlpool wtw4800xq1 fills with water and sits there. Switch your ohmmeter to a higher setting try 10K. Ugtell motor capacitor cbb60 capacitance 60uf 450vac frequency 50 60hz white capacitor 60uf 4 7 out of 5 stars 45.
Found motor capacitor had melted through dumping liquid platic spaghetti onto the insulation blanket under the washer.
