Because the symptoms are really two separate functions and they both happened simultaneously, I can't think of anything else that could cause this problem in a 1960 model.
The recirculating lint filter is supplied water by a second 'half' of the pump, which other than the impeller operates more or less independently of the drain side of the pump. Water going to the lint side of the pump comes from a different part of the tub too, so if they both stopped simultaneously, I can think only a seized impeller would cause that. Incidentally, if for some reason your machine has an original style metal pump, a one for one replacement is plastic, and required washers on the pump bolts to proper secure the new plastic bodied pump. If you have a metal pump, please let me know and we can be sure you have the proper bolts. This is important enough that when there were still a lot of metal pumps in service, FSP supplied washers with the replacement pumps. If your machine needs a four port pump (sounds almost sure like it does since you can see the lint filter) you need replacement pump 350367. They are plentiful. Gordon |
