This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Whirlpool AWT 2261 top loader not washing properly after reassembly; electric shock reported
- The problem
- After replacing the motor and drum bearings on a Whirlpool AWT 2261 top-loading washing machine, the appliance no longer washed or rinsed properly and detergent was not being flushed from the dispenser correctly. The original poster later reported that the motor was not spinning and that touching the machine body caused an electric shock.
- Likely cause
- A serious electrical fault or incorrect reassembly was strongly indicated, particularly because the cabinet was reportedly live and the motor was not running. The exact failed component or wiring error was not confirmed in the discussion.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was to stop attempting further diagnosis and have the machine inspected by an engineer. No DIY repair was confirmed in the thread.
- Checks to try
- Motor reported as not spinning
- Motor windings were said to have continuity/current
- Detergent was not properly cleared from the tray
- Electric shock was reported from touching the washer body with and without the motor fitted
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Motor bearings
- Drum/vat bearings
- C.E. SET. MCA 30/64-148/ALA1 motor
Safety: The machine was reported to give an electric shock. Do not continue using or testing it. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

To be honest I think you should get an engineer to look at this machine. It's worrying that you received an electric shock and hard to advise as the information is too vague - I get electric shocks from the washing machine

I have a update...
The motor it's not spinning. It's a C.E. SET. MCA 30/64-148/ALA1. The motor windings lead curent, but I didn't find any information on the internet about this motor. I wan't to start him directly to the outlet (220V), but I don't know wich pins have to be puted at current. When I puted my hands on washer body with or without motor, I was electrocuted... so it's seems that the washer ground it's having a problem...
Please help me with any information...
