Yes you have a motor fault and need to replace the motor. This is a difficult job. You need to remove the back panel of the washer to access the motor.The motor is the only thing that will draw enough amps to flip the breaker when it shorts out. The motor probably over heat closer to the end of the cycle and shuts down. Yes motor usually last allot long but sometimes they just fail early.
Hope i helped you.
Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Our Kenmore Elite HE3T washing machine isn't spinning clothes. It makes sort of a groaning sound when it is supposed to be spinning. There is a small amount of water in the bottom of the washer and the clothes are wet. There has been an F02 code and we followed the instructions to check the drain hose. What is likely the problem? Can I fix it, or will it require a repairman?
