I removed the water pump from the filter and the impeller rotates 1/2 turn each way and stops, is it defective?

Answer Hello Jim. No, this is the resistance of the pump motor magnets. Test and see if there is power coming to the pump. If so, and the pump does not run, replace the pump assembly WH23X10028. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
I determined my pump is seized up and have ordered a replacement. How difficult is this going to be to install? Can you give me some tips? It looks like two big spring clamps, not sure if I have to remove the sheet metal piece holding the wiring.

Answer Michael, Here's some service information, it should help you through the repair. To remove the service panel: Remove the 3 Phillips-head screws that hold the service panel to the cabinet( along the bottom of the lower front panel). Pull the service panel down.
To remove the pump: Remove the service panel. Caution: Under normal conditions, approximately 1 quart of water will drain out when the pump cleanout is removed. Place a shallow pan under the drain cleanout. Turn the pump cleanout counterclockwise
approximately 2 turns, then pull outward. Note: Remove any debris or foreign objects from the strainer and interior of the pump before reinstalling. Remove the drain hoses from the pump: Note: The drain hoses are diffi cult to remove. Squeeze each clamp and slide it back.
Carefully break each hose loose by inserting a small fl at-blade screwdriver under the hose to break the seal. Remove the tub outlet hose from the pump inlet. Remove the drain hose from the pump outlet. Disconnect the 2 wires from the pump.Remove the 2 Phillips-head screws that hold the pump to the chassis. Pull the pump rearward to clear the 2 locator pins from the 2 grommets in the front frame. Remove the pump thru the enlarged opening on the left side of the front frame. Good Luck,
Not draining and the pump get's hot. Washes fine but then stops and wont spin. Cleaned filter it was dirty. Pump will turn by finger but when I hook up nothing but a noise and warm pump????

Answer Hi Kurt. It sounds like the pump has seized up and will no longer work under a load. I've located a link on our repair forum you will find useful to help you determine if you have to change the pump or have a different issue.

Answer Hello. You can test the wires coming to the pump to see if you have voltage there. If so, the pump will need to be replaced. Hope this helps.
