Could be a plumbing problem, may even be siphoning water back out of the drain. Perhaps it is not pumping the water out of the unit for some reason. Hopefully the above will help narrow it down.

Even with only a couple wet towels it cannot speed up enough to throw the water out of the towels. I'm thinking maybe the thrust bearing or the snubber is the cause. The service manual I have does not really go into how to test the thrust bearing. The pump works great, definitely not the problem. A gallon in gives a gallon out (measured) so it is pumping dry and it does it rapidly.
