Default Whirlpool Washer spin problem
Brand: Whirlpool
Model Number: LSC8244DZ0
Age: 5 - 10 years

Having a problem with the above washer.. goes through the wash and drain cycles fine but when it starts the spin cycle, the motor starts getting warm, it humms and is slow starting. Once it gets going it works fine. Should I replace the motor, the capacitor, or both.. thanks

Those capacitors don't normally go bad, but I would replace it first. That is a start capacitor, it could very well be the issue. Even if you had to replace the motor, you still would replace the capacitor. Go with the start cap. If you need me you can reach me at my website at ApplianceEducator.com Tom
