Have done a little felting lately so I pulled the pump (exactly like your Part Number: AP3138954) and cleaned it out- no parts seemed broken and it worked freely. :) Put it back in and for a few minutes it pumped the water out and spun. Then when I tried to run another cycle it won't drain now. I wonder what makes the pump engage? I tried pushing the pump arm the other way but that didn't make a difference. Is there a relay or something or did I burn the motor up? :confused: Help! Susan
