White-Westinghouse model la450mxw1 top load capacity in Kg.

As a rule of thumb, 12 pounds of laundry is appropriate for a standard capacity top load washer, 15-18 pounds for a front-load washer, and 20-22 pounds for an extra large capacity front load washer. 1 lb.is .4536 kg so 15*.4536 is 6. kg. 18*.4536 is 8.17 kg.

Standard washer capacity is around 18 lbs.

if the only thing you need is the timer, the part # 21001698 and you can get it at Sears. price about 120.00

does it fill with water yet?if so then its the lid safety switch that gone bad under the top lid,this will kill all cycles other than fill,if it doesn't fill with water either then the timers defective

Belts can wear out from: Overloading, old age, or stretching. Sounds like a new belt is in order for you.

A belt may be broken. Many washing machines have one or two belts. If a belt is broken or badly worn, you need to replace it with a genuine belt from the manufacturer. (Some washing machine belts are designed with special characteristics not found in automotive belts.) "Soot" is actually belt dust from slippage and wearing out of belt(s). This can cause noise as it wears down. You could also have a foreign item stuck in the pump, although this could create a drain or spin issue.

If this doesn't help, post me back and I will do some more research to help resolve your issue.
