Bud for Model Number FTF530FS1 We did find a nickel in the filter. Would that harm anything? Would that cause the washer not to spin or tumble. Also the impeller will spin a little but not all the way around. It will go to the right and left only to a certain distance. I take it the impeller is good? Thanks Bud :) Hi Bud. Remove the front lower cover. Remove the sump hose going to the outer tub and to the pump intake. There is a filter part # AP5630356 cup inside it. It collects the debris before it enters the pump impeller. Clear all debris. Check the impeller to see if it is spinning loose on the pump shaft. If it is replace it with part # AP4359998. Thank You.
Answer Hello Bud, The nickel probably didn't hurt anything since the trap caught it. What you need to do is see how fast the drain water is rushing out of the drain when pumping the water out. If it is a dribble, you will probably need to remove the hose from the outer tub that leads to the pump and check the opening for a small article of clothing that could have gotten between the tubs. If nothing is there, the drain pump 137221600 will have to be replaced. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, July 12, 2012
