You're right, it's not the pump. I replaced the pump. I will save it
for when it does go. It's not the timer. I did your test. The washer
only works when the washer is empty or almost empty. When it's empty,
it go's thru all the cycles "spins, drains, adgitates etc". That leaves
the tranny and motor? Even with a full load, you figure it should drain
or do something, but it doesn't...thanx again...the new pump had about
the same resistance...I should have clued in...the pump will not go to
waste...I will use it one day
