Disassembling a whirlpool style washer

Good day,
No repair possible. No washer pumps are serviceable. They must be replaced with a new one.
The pump is easy to change, remove the 2 hoses and snap clips hold the pump on. Just pry the clips off and pull the pump off.
Look at the clip below, as to how to access it if you haven't gone that far yet.
The video isn't about changing the pump, but gets you to the area.

Good day,
If the machine is under one year old, all mechanical problems are covered for you by the manufacturer.
Contact your selling dealer first for service. If they don't perform warranty repair themselves they will advise you who to call. Roper is a product of the Whirlpool Corp.

First you should remove the hoses and clean the screens in the ends of the hose, some hoses have screens in both ends. While the hoses are removed look inside the water inlet valve there should be a screen in there also remove and clean the screen out. Some screens will not be removable so you will need to clean in place or remove the water inlet valve. If all is clear you will need to check the solenoids on the water inlet valve for power.If the solenoid has power when put in a fill cycle and no water eneters your washer you will need to replace the water inlet valve. Most water inlet valves must be replaced as a unit, so if one solenoid fails you replace the hole valve assembly. These are inexpensive and easy to replace. Here is a video at that will walk you thru the testing a water inlet valve. It may be a different model but the testing will be the same. If you need help disassembling there are also videos of disassembling most styles. You can also enter your model # for diagrams and illustrations of your specific model. Not all models will be available. All parts come with installation instructions.

Did you remove all packing materials? Most units have drum stabilizers that need to be removed after shipping.

Good day,
This is usually caused by the drain hose not being high enough.
It has to at least reach as high as the top of the cabinet.
Or,
Once in a while a drain hose fitting too tightly into a stand pipe can cause the same effect.

If the couplings pins are not sheard off the problem lays in the transmission instead. You probably need a new one or a replacement from another one if located

This is commonly the clutch. This page should help more http://www.appliance-repair-it.com/washer-not-spinning.html

The clutch is faulty - or the transmission broken.
