I can’t tell any difference between how fast the drum spins now than it did before. When it is spinning I don’t see any water standing in the drum so I am stumped. I hope someone has seen this before, the machine uses AP pump # AP2908525 or Whirlpool (Kitchenaid) pump # 3363892. This machine is original except for a couple of springs that were replaced on the base assembly.

Here is the part Part number: AP3094538 and there is a nice video that will show you how to change it out. It is not a difficult job but it will help to have a helper
