Tilt the machine back and remove the belt from the pump. Give the pump's pulley a few twists. If it offers resistance, your pump may need replacement, or there may be something caught in it. Also, check the condition of the belts. By tilting the washer toward its rear, the motor will slide back on its spring-loaded mount and release belt tension. The pump pulley is in the front on the right side of the machine. The motor is in the left front. The transmission is the big pulley in the center. Not related, but if the center pulley is coated in a thick greasy substance, your transmission needs a new bottom seal, so that ought to be a warranty issue. Also, check the drain hose to be sure it's not too low (even a little). The drain hose is normally filled with water and if it's too low, it will siphon water out of the tub. When the washer is agitating, the pump runs backwards, the pump only runs forwards during spin. Hope this helps, Dave |

Sounds like the pump is ok. I'm guessing West Coast Appliance probably adjusted the brake package incorrectly. Either that or you have a spin/radial bearing going out. Personally, I would take the machine back and have them fix it if it's still under warranty. The A806 is definitely a keeper and most certainly worth the hassle. |
