Washer motor hums. Out of ideas.
Drive shaft turns freely.
I have removed and checked the pump for obstructions: none.
Replace the motor capacitor. No change.
Replaced the motor switch. No Change.
Removed the transmission. Internal gears appear to be OK. Clutch is good.
Outside of the unit, I ran the transmission/motor assy. Motor runs but bearing making grinding noise)
Replaced motor.
Double checked all connections.
After all the above, the Motor still doesn't start, but hums.
Update (05/27/2022)
Additional troubleshooting. I removed the new motor from the pump and gearbox and set it on the floor. I reconnected the switch and capacitor. When I turn on the washer, the motor doesn't turn, only hums. It's a brand new motor, I don't get it. I also confirmed that the lid switch is working properly.

Update 6/6/22:
Summary of what I've done, all to no avail. The motor hums but doesn't turn when I turn on the washer.
Transmission coupler is good.
Replaced capacitor
Replaced motor switch
Swapped motor
Swapped transmission
Replaced clutch
Replaced timer
Is this a good question?
albertcatelani what is the exact model number for your washer? when you attach a multimeter toy uor washer motor and turn your washer on, what voltages do you get. The humming could be cause by an undervoltage.

It's a Kenmoore Series 80 (black top) 110.92282800. I haven't checked what you suggest, but are you thinking that my house power is low?

@albertcatelani not your house but just to your motor. Check and see what you get
