So my front loader Frigidaire finally broke down after 6 years, spider was cracked and it is too expensive for me to replace, so I picked up an untested estate by whirlpool top loader for $40 at a thrift store. When I start the cycle it begins filling and then leaks from the water pump. The water pump is a cheap, easy fix so I don't mind replacing that, but I'm not sure if this thing will even spin. I tried turning the knob to various points and it will either fill or do nothing. Should it spin? or will it not spin until it reaches a certain water level? If the motor or coupling is bad I'm probably just going to take it back. How can I test the spin cycle without filling it up?
