Do-It-Yourself Story

Please note. I never had any codes. First thing I noticed was wet clothes. Tried to spin again but the washer acted confused. Door kept locking then unlocking. Water started going in then would stop. Would start a cycle then sit there for 20 minutes then start to go but stop. Took everything out and saw some water in the tub. At first I thought the main panel must be bad. I tried to check the trap but it was full of water. So I drained the water. Put it on rinse and spin and it was ok until it was time to spin then it flipped out again. Checked and it wasn't draining. Drained it and left the drain hose open and tried to rinse and spin. Worked fine as long as the drain was open and the water could drain. Took the pump out and tested it on my bench. Just hummed. Ordered a pump and put it in and all is fine. We can have clean clothes again. Took me longer than it should and was a bit challenging but that's because I'm almost 72.
