I decided it might be the motor couplings, which I actually have had to replace before. After disassembling the washer, I did find some black shavings underneath the washer. I had an AWFUL time trying to remove the pump--the drive motor shaft & the part it fits into on the pump are both extremely rusty. I've now removed the drive motor, & the isolation & couplings are definitely disintegrated, but I am wondering if I'm going to need to replace the pump as well. What has caused it & the drive motor shaft to get so rusty? Thoughts? Feedback? Thanks in advance. PK

You will need a file and emory paper to clean off the rust from the motor shaft
