I found a troubleshooting guide inside the cabinet that says,

"...set timer to the start of the Regular wash cycle and pull the know out. If the motor does not rotate, check for a poor connection in the timer line switch or door lock switch. If good, and motor does not run go to step 3".

Step 3 then asks me to,

"Remove the six-pin plug from the speed control unit.l Measure the voltage between pins 5 & 6 on the harness. If the meter reads 0 check the connection in the timer line switch or door lock. If the meter reads 120 VAC go to step 4"

I got 120 VAC so I sent to step four.

Step four says to set the timer to heavy wash portion of the regular wash cycle. Remove the ten pin plug from speed control unit. Measure the voltage between pins 1,2,6 and 10 of the ten pin plug to pin 5 of the 6 pin plug on the harness. The voltage at pins 2,6, and 10 should read 120 and 0 and pin 1. If not check timer contacts 1C to 1B, 5C to 5B, and 7C to 7B for closed contacts, and 3C to 3B for open contacts.

My voltage between pin 5 and pins 1,2,6, and 10 is 0.

What do I do now? How do I check the timer contacts for open and closed?

Water is coming but there is no spinning and there is a noise from one water mixing valve.
