Hi, I have a gibson GWX435RBD4 washer.
The water won't drain
I know its not the lid switch.
Took it apart and unhooked one hose and water came out,
unhooked other hose and nothing more came out.
Little round thing spins fine.
I see no filter.
its only about 4/5 years old and not many washes done in it.
See nothing clogging it.
What now?
Could it be something simple or did the pump go bad already??
Thanks for the advice :-):(

What hose did you take off? Take the drain hose off the pump and see if water comes out of the pump. Careful there is 20 gallons of water in the tub if full. If water drains out of pump you have no clogs through the pump, make sure the drain hose is clear and than check under machine and see if the belt (s) are there and on pulley's
