RJ's Whirly is not draining. Wigwag shifts, agitate & spin (via water level reset, although seems sluggish shifting back *out* of spin). Belt not broken. He claims no burning odor. Pump could be jammed ... but it was replaced last year during the wigwag incident (beginning to think RepairClinic is sour for parts). Belt was not worn or loose at that time, suppose could be now. Haven't yet examined in detail, still am wonky myself, not gonna wrestle an 18-pounder 3/4 full of water. Any suggestions / predictions? | ||

tub-mounted self-cleaning filter? If it has a self cleaning filter, it's possible that's what's clogged up and not allowing the water to pump out also. B | ||

Self-clean lint filter would be a possibility, but this is a mid= 1980s belt drive (one of the last), and has (I assume) the under-basket mounted strainer-type filter. No evidence of a recirculating self-cleaner. The pump was stuck. Pulling on the belt for extra tension got it going, for the moment anyway. The machine is getting an enzyme treatment until this evening, then I'll tighten the belt a smidgeon (although it's not particularly loose). | ||
