Makes gringing noise when agitating does nat spin

Hi,

The unit grinds and doesn't spin right ? Does it drain all the water out ?

The reason I ask about the spin is this. If hypothetically the pump had stones in it, or the bearings were worn, it would be grinding while washing (since it turns continuously, but only drains when the motor reverses) and could prevent the unit from draining sufficiently and hence, it will not spin.

**Unplug the unit from the wall**

Check the pump for obstructions, or worn bearing in the pump, you can check the pump fairly easy with the aid of a trouble light/flashlight on those, as the housing is usually transparent.

Remove the belt at the bottom. Lean the machine back against a wall or have someone steady it for you to do this. examine the pump pulley, it's the one in the rear right corner, when observing from the front. Turn it by hand and get a "feel" for if it's loose, grinding, or generally hard to turn. If you see the obstruction, pull off a hose from either the back access panel or remove the front panel, (the rear is easiest, the front gives more room) and remove the article/debris.

If that isn't the issue, let me know and we can follow up from there.

Good Luck
