I am not a repair professional. I am just a 78 year old
man who has been making his own repairs for about
50 years. Therefore the washer ID doesn't mean
much to me. It's been about 55 years since I had
experience with front load washers. However I can
suggest you go to www.applianceaid.com where
they have very good trouble shooting and repair
information on front loaders. I think you'll find what
you need there. Good luck with it. If I have helped you, please rate my advice on fixya.

OK, I fixed it. I took the back plate off so I could access the parts better. There is a short rubber tube that comes out of the bottom of the drum area and goes into the pump clean-out unit. The top part is bigger and has a wire clamp. I squeezed the wire clamp and it was easy to pop the rubber hose off the plastic connector. There is a plastic ball that acts as a valve if the water down below backs up.
Anyway, it had two or three scrungees stuck up there. The water drained, more slowly because they're somewhat course, but when the clumps of decaying cloth came through they clogged them up so it didn't drain at all. I pulled them out and threw them away. Put the rubber hose and wire clamp back on and now it works like a charm.
Oh yeah. It was giving an F28 error message. I also learned that if it can't pump all the water out, it won't unlock the door. I had to access the manual release. There's a little plastic tab that pokes out of the bottom of the door lock. I could reach it through the bottom kick plate space, if I reached my arm up on the right side. Or I could reach it from the top after I took the top off.
