Hi,

This beast is not draining: so far I have..
Checked the drain tube to the sink - not clogged.
Unscrewed & checked the check valve - it is clean
Removed the motor, it spins freely in both directions

( I think for this model the motor spins backwards to evacuate the water.
With motor off, re-joined the plugs & ground, motor would not spin when put on drain cycle.

When I put it on the drain cycle there is a noise ( kinda heavy vibrating sound - which seems to come from a small red-wire wound unit ( size of a sewing thread spool). I notice the motor getting VERY warm. Noise stops after 15 sec or so, cannot get it to do it again via drain cycle unless I wait, then I hear a click in the motor - only then can I recreate the sound.

One of the wires from the main cable go to this red wire spool, ( about 4 go to it in total) then a wire comes from it to the motor. Unplugging this wire, the motor does nothing and no sound is heard.

On the drain cycle I am getting 120 volts from one of the wires that goes to the motor.

So I am thinking I need a new motor or that wound-red-wire thing ( is it a transformer of some sort?)

If I get a new motor ( I'll see what is said here) do I need new gaskets and an alignment tool? Anything else that needs to be replaced when replacing a motor? :confused:

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

If I can get it working again, I will save about $400:eek: in these tough time instead of buying a new one..

This is a start relay. We can't help you with a part number without a complete model number (including the three smaller digits before the dot.).

Thank you

-didn't see the smaller # at first...

665.15821692

Do I need to get any gasket set to put the motor and related assembly back together? Or any alignment tool?

Thanks!
Matt

The proper gaskets or seals should cme with the replacement motor.

Thank you but I was thinking I would try replacing the starter relay as that was making a funny sound. This was kind of hinted at in your first post.

If I put back the motor, will I need a gasket set.

Maybe you have a part # for the starter relay?

Thanks

As long as you didn't damage any of the seals removing the motor, you should be able to reuse them.

OK Thanks, & will try to replace the start relay & see if that works, I'm thinking it is cheaper to buy than a motor ( haven't checked that yet).
