Do-It-Yourself Story

Washer failed to drain, so I did a search based on washer model number and found the site, repair videos and associated parts. I did misrecognize the root problem, so initially replaced the belts, and the washer still didn't drain. Checking the free movement of the drain pump pulley, it was clearly seizing up. New pump ordered, the swap for the new pump took less time than it took to pull the washer out from the wall and remove the front cover. Gotta love simple machines.
