From Tech Sheet W15388179, p.31:

1.Check connections to current sensor. Check wiring to and from the motor from the control board. Check control board.

2.Measure the drive motor winding resistance at the main control connector. Expected: 2 to 6 ohms between winding pairs.

3.Rotate the drum by hand and check for free rotation. Inspect the belt and pulley for glaze or wear; a slipping belt mimics a motor fault under load.
