model is ALW880QAW, built by Maytag with parts now from Whirlpool. Motor humms but motor fails to start without my physically turning the drive belt. Motor and capacitor both feel warm soon after the motor starts. Wondering if it's a bad motor, bad capacitor or something clogging the pump, or some combination. Have no service manual. Willing to buy what it takes and attempt the repair(s) if this is do-it-yourself work and parts costs are reasonable or I can return an unused part. I appreciate any help I can get.

Hi. I've got a Whirlpool top loading washing machine that won't stop filling with water. I checked the Water Level Control; when I put a drinking straw around it & blow, it clicks & the water stops filling. However when I reattach the pressure hose, it doesn't seem to stop filling. I verified that the pressure hose is attached properly (I even snipped the ends off to ensure a snug fit). I also blew into the hose & confirmed that there were no obstructions. I would love any help/advice on what the most likley problem might be. Is it that the Water Level control is not working properly? ie although it works fine when I blow into it, it is not sensitive enough to react to the pressure from the water filling up? As an aside, I took the machine apart because one of the suspension springs had broken & I had to reanchor it at a different place since the original hole had been torn open. Is it possible that this might affect the water level control (the water was filling fine before I opened the machine up). Thanks in advance.
