great machine, but since 3 more people moved in it rinses/spins fine but clothes are still very wet unless extra spin cycles are used.
Also - it is slow to fill on the "cold water" setting. Cold water runs feely elsewhere in the house.
I see the water pump is available for ~$35 - should I get one before I start digging in? Also - for my machine is their any related parts typically need replacing during a pump swap?
the machine is difficult to access.
thank you!

1) Pull the washer out, remove the rear cover and check all hoses for a clog.

2) Replace the water inlet valve (#805 on the break down diagram).

- The part number for the water inlet valve is AP2618763

Here are the break down diagrams for the Hotpoint washer Model WLW3500RBL

thanks Gene! no concern it may have a weak pump? that seems to be a common reply to poor drain issues.....

The most common problem with this particular pump is water leak but...you never know.
