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..

Thank you

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.

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