No, leave it there but disconnect the wires so you can still hear all other parts of the washer operate without the drain pump running.You mean remove the pump itself from the bottom of the cabinet?
Yes and no....often a pump can work ok when bench testing it but will act differently when in the machine and asked to work normal like.What if completely remove the pump and put a test wire to it? 110 ac? If I could do that, might more conclusive results.
?it? The motor and drain pump should still run but no tumbling or spinning.What if I remove the belt then it put in rinse/spin? It will do nothing , right?
