It looks like the "pump" stopped working. It is making noise but not filling with water could be a simple fix. | ||

 Greetings, Bart. The pump mechanism does not fill it with water. The machine's inlet valve opens when the timer calls for a fill. Water flows in via plumbing pressure from the city mains or private water well, whichever you have supplying water to your house. Fills are timed, probably 2 minutes more or less. The pump functions separately to circulate/spray the water that has filled in, or drains it out at the appropriate times after the various wash and rinse periods. No fill is a problem with the inlet valve not functioning, not a problem with the pump. The inlet valve may have gone bad or there's a problem with a wire on/to it. Or a problem with the timer. Or a problem with the overfill float but that's less likely. Has there been any leaking from the rust spot in your 4th and 5th photos when the machine was working? | ||

I tested again and it does fill with water. I had it on “dry” cycle. The only issue is the pinhole leak in the bottom of the tube.

I have it!
Thank you to the owner for reaching out to me. The machine is in flawless condition other than the tiny rust hole at the base of the machine, I can only assume there was some sort of manufacture defect or chip in the enamel that left part of the metal exposed near the pump. What would be the most optimal way to repair this? RTV sealant would be simple but I don’t know if that would work as well as other options. Let me know how this is normally rectified. I may also have another machine with a good tub that I don’t mind swapping parts from this into.
