I have a model WMSR3110W2WW with only one problem, the wiring harness for the motor was cut out.Since I am following someone else who did this kind work, I don’t have the wire.Crimping new connectors and replacing the wire is no problem at the motor, the connector is still on the motor so identifying where each starts is easy.When I looked up the replacement motor, it has a relay (8 connections) and a (start?) capacitor in-line.I don’t find a relay left behind and there is no indication which line the cap goes on, the connectors are gone along with the wire.There is a wiring diagram, but I’m not en electrical engineer :).I have scanned it and can send it as a 2-page PDF.Has anyone seen a GE WMSR3110 lately and can identify if it needs a relay and which wires to connect to which blades on it and the capacitor?
It is a GE Hotpoint Washing Machine model WMSR3110W2WW

The washing machine shows an error code E3 on its screen when the washer spins from normal to high speed. Initially, try to disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, wait for at least 30 minutes, and then plug it again. The error message may also be due to the wire harness, loose wiring connection, cable not connected properly, or damaged wiring. Usually, a faulty wiring connection or lousy wire harness can be determined by checking the wire harness on the motor, hall sensor, stator, control board, etc. Reconnecting or replacing the wiring or wire harness solves the washer issue, and then clear the E3 error. Make sure that the motor drive connector and the stator is not loose or damaged. Clean the foreign objects and debris inside the motor using a lint-free cloth. The Error 3E can also be caused by the wash drum being overloaded with too many clothes, a piece of clothing jammed between the drum, or inadequate water supply. Service your washing machine if any of the above solutions do not help.
Motor control unit (MCU) error
The Central Control Unit has detected a short in the motor control unit. If a failure occurs during high-speed spin the door will be unlocked after 3 minutes.
Check wire harness connections between the Drive Motor and the Motor Control Unit (MCU)
Check wiring between the MCU and the Central Control Unit (CCU)
Motor control unit (MCU) heat sink failure error code. Thermal sink on MCU overheating. - Ensure proper clearance around the washing machine. - Visually inspect motor control board and central control board wire harness connections. - Test wire harness to motor connection.
The new units have all of your schematics, capacitor and a higher price for a reason. With GE I avoid used parts because there is so much electronics you don't want to fry. The wire harness leads match the old and there should not be an extra wire, were would it go if there is not a receptacle for it?
I looked up your unit and the motor replacement is WH20X10009 for the model you quoted. As of now GE is has updated this to model wh20x10006 for around 263 dollars.
Looking at several LG Washer service manuals, the error code LE ( Lock Error) could be any one of several things: a 3 pin connector in the wire harness going to the motor, It could also be the harness itself between the Motor and Circuit Board Controller ( PWB) assembly has been damaged or cut..or the hall sensor used to detect drum speed while it rotates may be defective or the main control board ( PWB) "printed wire board " is defective. Lots to pick from but these are the likely candidates... hope this helps
The black or brown connection block on the motor should be color coded to match the harness. If not you will need to remove the control panel and find the service guide sheet. This will give you the wiring diagram for the whole machine.
