Most western machine machines have a drum motor that runs in at least two modes :- washing, slowly backwards and forwards, Spin cycle :- limited torque high speed. There is also a low power motor on the pump, to pump the water from the machine. The machine will also have solenoid valves to admit water into it and to use the detergent out of the dispenser, level detectors to limit the water level in the drum. An electric element and thermostat to heat the water. And an interlock on the door to stop it being opened while the machine is full of water.
Now what are you intending to do?
