This is the biggest reason The start switch on some top load washers is often part of the timer and is activated by pulling out on the timer knob. Although not normally available as a separate part, the switch can be tested for continuity with a multi-meter.
THANKS
How to test the start switch and timer in a washing machine with a multi-meter:
- Disconnect your washing machine from the power source as you will be handling electrical components.
- Remove the appliance's cabinet in order to locate the switch. Once you have located it, carefully remove it from the washer. Removing the wires by grasping the metal connectors and not the wires themselves.
- Set your multi-meter to the Rx1 setting, place the probes on the timer contacts (as noted by your wiring diagram) and press and hold down on the switch's button. You are testing for continuity and should receive a reading of zero or nearly zero.
- If you do not receive this reading, you will need a replacement start switch
