Wont start washing when filled
Washer fills with water but won't start to wash until I manually spin the wash tub
Is this a good question?

That sounds like a weak motor/start capacitor or motor-start problem. If manually moving the tub gets the motor going, I’d check the capacitor, motor, and wiring first.

I thought the same thing, but this model uses an integrated inverter, no start or run cap.
Also, the motor is going to start several times through a cycle, seems like an awful coincidence that bump starting it once gets it to start and run the next several times on its own through the cycle
That's a weird one. Are you sure it's actually spinning the tub that starts it going, not something else you're doing like banging the lid after spinning the tub, possible lid switch failure?
So the unit fills, then does nothing, timer doesn't advance, and after you spin the tub once it runs through the rest of the cycle normally and completes?
