Pete for Model Number 3363394 ASS.Y or 3352293 KIO I took the water pump out of my Whirlpool washer because it was leaking. I filled it up with water, added a little pressure, found the leak. What I am wondering is, should the impeller on the water pump spin pretty freely with the part in my hand, or should it be difficult to spin?
Answer Pete, It should be relatively easy to turn, little to no drag, when you turn the impeller. Sounds like the seal in the impeller had failed and leaked, also caused the shaft to start to seize. Good Luck and Thanks Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, November 8, 2011
