Shift Actuator
The shift actuator governs the physical transition between agitation and spin modes while housing the optical tachometer. If the internal synchronous motor fails to move the splutch or the optical eye fails to detect pulley rotation, the control board remains in a sensing loop as it cannot verify the mechanical state of the drive system.

Motor Run Capacitor
This component provides the phase-shifted current necessary for the motor to generate starting torque. A common forensic finding in these models is wire fatigue or dielectric failure in the capacitor; if the motor cannot initiate movement during the sensing pulses, the system cannot progress to the wash cycle.

Drive Belt
The drive belt is the friction-based link between the motor and the gearcase. Over time, the EPDM material stretches or glazes, leading to slippage; if the motor spins but the gearcase pulley does not reach the required RPM threshold during the load-sensing 'shacks,' the control board will fail to validate the load size and stall.
