I can force it to turn and feel something move free maybe a sock or something got through the seal and is on the outer side of the drum getting caught. It will happen again and again after I turn it mannualy and then run it. Where do I begin to open the unit. Front Back Top etc. Any help would be appreaciated kenbary@comcast.net

You might find the wire clamp imposable to get back on, so you will need to buy a adjustable clamp to replace it.

Warning!!, Before reaching in, use duck tape on the very sharp edges back there, will save cuts and prevent foul language around Christmas!

Got the drain clamp off and drain hose. A sock made its way to the drain. I was right there, I just plucked it out and put drain hose clamp back on. doing a test wash right now. Thanks for your help.
