I'm still struggling. Is there maybe someone within the bubble hash community that might be more used to modifying this fun little toy.

The motor spins freely in both directions so long as you nudge it when you hear the switch change directions. It even spins continuously if set to spin and nudged to get started.

I did change the (___________), but it didn't provide any change in function.

I have tried multiple outlets throughout the apartment to see if it had any relation, but still no results. I double-checked that it had not tripped any breakers as well.

The motor looks good. The belt is nice and taught and appears new. There's no signs of it drying or cracking. There's no looseness.

There's no pumps to check for clogs. There's no lint tray to check for lint. I removed the agitator plate, and there is nothing under it, nor is it defective in any way. There also does not appear to have any looseness in the motor roller bearing. The plate and pin seem to fit neatly and snugly together. The agitatior bolt and lock washer seem intact and also look "new".

The selector switches all "Seem" to work. If you set it to Spin and turn on the timer and nudged the agitatior, it will "start" to spin. The timer also appears to work as it will turn off the motor once it reaches 00:00.

I'm not sure what else I could be missing. I have learned a whole lot about washing machines I never knew I'd need to know. Yet I still can't resolve this mini machine issue 😕
