I removed the lower panel and turned the motor clockwise with an insulated tool and it started right up and ran through the cycles without a problem. Lately the motor has to be bump-started a couple of times during each cycle. I'm thinking I need a circulation pump. Is this correct or are there other things I need to examine first? Thanks, FMTL

I assume this has a separate drain pump instead of the typical GE gate valve (drains from right rear instead of Left Mid.) Figure 310 would be correct if there was a drain solenoid on the front side of the pump, drains from Left hand side.

Where would I find figure 310? All I have seen are the exploded diagrams and they all show the pump and motor as a single unit. No motor is listed separately in parts, just the assembly.
