Hi,
My washer seem to stop sometimes after going through the rinse cycle. I noticed that it was trying to drain the last bit of the water out of the pump tube, but it wasn't able so it shuts down as I it tries to go into the next phase (The tube is not higher than the washer). I can take the tubing off the sink and lower it to the drain on the floor so the last little bit of water will drain and the washer then goes through the cycle appropriately. I checked the pump for blockage, but there was none. I check the tubing for cracks etc. but there weren't any. Am I right in my thinking that the pump my be weak? Can I check the weakness with a voltage tester? I don't want to go out and by a pump and it's just that the belt is not as tight as it used to be (the belt seems tight, but I don't know how tight it used to be). Please advise, thanks!
