Remove all the water and take the hoses off the pump. Be prepared for water because you can’t remove all the water from the tub. Then check inside the pump for anything that will block water or the pump. Clothes Washer Repair Guide

Seems to be okay, but ordered a new one (48.00) after going to all the trouble. Keep looking around for a belt, but this type doesn't seem to have one. Is there anything else I should be looking for?
