Did you replace the capacitor or the motor?

Get a book from the library on major appliance repair. Also, hav
someone
standing by who knows first aid.

Then it's something else. You really need skills at this point.

Something doesn't make sense. How many wires go to the motor?

A diagram would be nice.

I wonder if it's a cap run motor (PSC) that reverses?

There's only 2 or 3 common designs of conventional top-loading washing
machines, most even have a schematic inside. When I got mine the timer had
some burned contacts that was causing the motor to not start.
