That's what I think too. Sounds like a belt. The motor does run. We'll take a look. Thanks guys. |

The motor does not reverse. Runs one direction, mode shifting (agitate, spin, or neutral drain with neither solenoid energized) is done by the wigwag per the video Martin linked. Are you assuming the belt is not at fault because it sometimes does work? You should check the belt if you haven't already. Maybe the motor pulley is loose? |

Could be a foreign object was jammed in it that broke loose with the forced turning of the pulley. You might consider removing the pump and looking into the ports to confirm no remnants of said object. Could also be the pump impeller was damaged or the object is still obstructing the flapper valve from fully seating one way or the other which could impact proper draining or cause draining during agitation. |

yeah, its great it broke free....
my concern would be, what was it that clogged/jammed it?....and then, where did it go? straight out the drain hose, that would be a good thing.....or pumped back into the machine or the self clean filter.... either way, you will find out in time.....good luck with it.... |
