Greg S Wyoming , MI January 26, 2015 Washing machine wouldn't drain Pretty simple repair if there is now water in the tub. If there is water in the tub, then it can be more challenging because there is no good way to drain the water, so have have shallow buckets and towels ready. Pump and motor change out is simple. It's just a few bolts, wire harness plug, and drain hoses. 2 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes
