When I manually push "spin & drain", the motor (I assume) hums, but no drain, no spin. I'm thinking I need a new drive belt and maybe my pump inlet/outlet is obstructed. Thoughts?

If all is ok, then look under the top or inside the bottom service panel for tech notes that will show you how to put it into diagnostic mode and generate error codes that may solve your problem. Of course, if your problem is the main control unit that won't help since it cannot diagnose itself if it is broken. Hopefully that is not the case. Good luck.

I've got a new assembly on order. The parts guy claims that this is a popular issue with HE3T/Whirlpool Duets. Hopefully this solves the issue. Thanks again.
