Went thru the process of trying to figure out if it was the recirculate or the drain pump and determined it was the recirculating pump. Pulled the screen and stem off and found nothing in the pump itself, so it was time to order a new pump. APP had the part in stock and quickly shipped.
The longest part of this job is getting the washer out and on its side, then off its side and back in its spot. Unplugged the unit, shut off the water supply, disconnected the water supply hose and the drain hose. Pulled the unit out and layed it down on its side (As all the electrical and hoses come out of the back of the unit). Used a star driver for the 2 screws holding the pressure plate in place, unplugged the 2 harnesses from the old motor and pulled it. Threw the new pump in and connected the wiring, reinstalled the pressure plate and screwed it in. Flipped it back up, pushed it back in, connected the water lines and plugged it in… To easy.
My only issue is that I ordered a set of O rings that were not needed (Note the picture of the pump does not show them included). APP, Please spell out that the O rings are included.
