My gwl 15 cannot get through the first rinse cycle. I hear the pump motor hum for about 16 seconds and then cut out for a second then continually repeat this cycle.The wash cycles completed ok and the current water level is normal. How can i check the drain pump for contamination? Thanks and have a good day.....Go Steelers!
I am currently pulling my washer apart again. This is the third time in about 5 years. Twice before I found pennies in the short black tube between the pump and the gray divert valve. I call it my 31 cent problem as the first time it was three dimes and a penny. I recommend turning the pump by hand. If it is turning freely, then I would squeeze the hose to see if you can feel anything inside. The tube is easy to remove and check as well, but any water is going to drain out on your floor. In my case I did not find any issue, put it all back together and it is running fine. Cross your fingers for me.
