hi,
There is a access panel on the back of the machine to access the pump. Sounds like you have a bad pump or an obstruction.
I have this same model.

Thanks for quick reply. Is this something a novice can tackle or do you recommend a service tech? About how much should I expect to pay for pump replacement?

Yes it’s actually not overly difficult the part number for a complete pump assembly is AP4044238. But I would check for an obstruction first. You’d be sureprised what can get into a pump. We’ve pulled class rings, bra underwires, socks, etc.
Hope that helps
