The only major elec item underneath is the motor. you are faced with taking the rear half of the cabinet off and checking where the flash comes from. a possible source is the joint between the two halves of the tub leaking and water from this source will happily drip onto the motor terminals. a second cause is just a faulty motor

My used washer makes a bang win it goes to wash after the soak cycle. It looks like it is missing springs in the bottom lower front between the motor basket and chassis. Is this suppose to have springs ?

washing machine normally have 2-3 springs on top of the drum and 2-3 shock absorbers supporting the drum from underneath, check one of the shock absorbers has not become detached from the drum or cabinet.

I know you don't want to hear this, but either you did something to the hose filter or you didn't get it plugged back in correctly.

If you banged the water inlet valve in moving it back, it might be damaged.

Suggest you unplug everything and start over.

Check the water level pressure chamber for a partial blockage, this can cause all sorts of problems.

Washing machine fill but won't go through cycle.

Too empty your machine reset the programmer to Final spin. the machine should empty normally.

If you have a fast flashing light its most likely to be 1 of 2 things.

1. The belt from the motor has broken. (price for belt is less than 20 pounds.)

2. The brushes in the motor have worn down too much to make the drum turn. Look underneath the washing machine to see if black power (Carbon) is deposited under the motor.
(Price for set of brushes is less than 20 pounds)

Labour should be no more than half an hour by anyone decent.
