Remove the toe panel to gain access to the pump. Check the trap on the front of the pump, and clean out any trash you find in there. Hope this helps.

I had already pulled the mcu and motor out of the washer, so I may have to reinstall both in the washer. I suppose I need to power up the washer to check pin13.1 to pin 13.3 for the dc voltage. Thanks!

If this reading shows the motor good , Then I will buy a new MCU. I am getting desperate. I will be buying my parts from you people, Because you have the best prices, and this forum is great. MJ
