HOW can I check the motor on my washing machine for voltage?

I have a whirlpool washing machine model AWOE 9558 B 6th sense with error F6 I have checked pump,filter,brushes which still have 25mm left all ok I need to check motor how do I check this I have removed belt & checked rotation of pulley which is not workin how do I check voltage to motor is it AC or DC this has a 7 pin connector with wires going to each connector

just check for continuity/resistance between each terminal, two leads go to the brushes, two to the tacho coil on the end of the motor and the three remaining are to the field coil, you shouldn't have an open circuit,you can check for mains voltage at the socket, also check that the windings are not going to earth, if everything seems to check out ok I would suspect module failure
