probly is ball stuck

If washer hums but doesn't fill, water isn't getting to washer check screens where fill hoses connect to washer. Screens may be blocked. If washer fills then hums check to make sure belt is on. Tip machine up to view belt underneath.

The ball is supposed to be there. It should be in the drain hose at the bottom of the drum. It is part of the eco system of the washer. In the service manual its called an "eco lock"

The is a small tube that attaches your chem tank to the pump...detach the tube from your pump and remove the nipple from your pump. There is supposed to be a ball and spring inside that nipple. This is a check valve for your chemicals...it isnt working. Alot of times people take them of the try and fix something and lose the ball and spring so be careful. More than likely your spring is broken and just needs to be replaced. Good luck

hi you need to remove the plastic ball and ring from the sump hose under the drum,also dont use anymore than 2 tablespoons of soap

If that ball is in that location I would assume its being used as a means of back flow prevention to prevent dirty water from backing up into your drum. You can try removing it and see what happens, but the things you need to consider are, 1. Does the ball have a hole through it. If so, its not a means of back flow prevention and definitely needs to stay in there. And does the ball move freely back and forth in the tube because the machine may also be using it as some means of pressure regulation. Either way I wouldn't recommend taking it out unless its harming something because the manufacturer put it there for a reason.

check for any blockages around pump and air trap area.

Strangely enough, I found the problem to be in the motor. If the noise becomes pronounced during the high speed spin cycle, then that is the problem. I had a repairman out for mine and they wanted to replace the drum, however when I took off the back and removed the belt, I could turn the drum separate from the motor and could hear that the problem was in the motor bearing, not the drum. Hope this helps.

if oil on clutch ckd top of gearcase under clutch drum top gearcase seal may be leaking
