Even if the pump is not working, then so long as there is no water in the washer, it should spin
If it does not, then I would suspect the motor brushes are worn out.
You need to remove the motor to check the brushes, if they are less than 2 or 3 mm long then they need replacing.
I do not think the washer you found is off the pump,more likely out of someones pocket.
Hope this helps with your problem.
I just replaced my drain pump on my BOSCH washing machine WFL2060-so almost identical to yours. When I posted my question, I was told that it was a pain to do, that many repairmen refuse to do it etc.... even that the front panel does not come off. Well, I am a fairly petite (by athletic) woman, and very far from being an expert at repairing anything.... I just did it in less than 45 minutes with a screw driver and a pair of pliers (and a bit of common sense). Here is the protocol: 1- UNPLUG your machine 2- drain any water that could be left inside (at the bottom front right, you will find a small door: open it, the filter and the small black hose are there) 3- . put an old blanket on the floor behind your machine and a piece of wood long enough to go across the width of your machine- place it half way to what will be the height of your machine once it lies down on the floor- this will save your fingers in case you loose grip of the machine while tilting it down on its back... 4- tilt your machine back and down on its back: use your thigh muscles as the machine si a bit heavy (if you have a friend help you that will be easier-but I did it alone... 5- remove the bottom front panel (2 screws) 6- above the filter access you will see 1 to 3 screws: take them off 7- from the bottom of your machine, take out the electric plug at the back of the pump's motor 8- using your pliers (and a good grip) loosen the metallic braces that hold the 2 hoses and slide them down along each of the hoses 9- the unit will come off into your hand. 10- replace the unit with the new one 11- screw the unit back 12 plug the wires back 13 reposition the hoses (you cannot go wrong, they are on wither side of the pump) 14- slide the braces back onto the hose+pump outlet 15- tilt your machine back 16- plug your machine 17- you are ready for your load! AND... you have saved about $200 without the part (I ordered it, paid $49 and was delivered to me within 2 business days!)

Motor brushes, worse case scenario motor complete. Run the following motor test.1. Put main dial to off2. Press and hold start button whilst turning dial one click to left (easycare 30).3. When display show 8.88 or two of the progress light come on, release the start button4. Turn dial anticlockwise to 60 cotton (take the long way, NOT thru OFF or you'll have to start over)5. Press start6. Motor should rotate in both directions, pump runs, motor kicks up to full spin.7. No motor action and two lights flashing on progress lights (separated by a light that's not on) indicates a motor fault.As suggested brushes or complete motor.Hope this helps
possibly the belt is off/broken? can you hear the motor turning when the drum is supposed to be revolving? If not supect the motor carbon brushes, or some other fault with the motor/and /or circiut, at best it may be a burned out wire to the motor
