I have an old 2231 hand rocker pump in my trillium camper (OLD!) it doesn't pump properly need a diagram of how the washers etc. should be so I can put back together properly as it appears it has been 'mended' before! thanks

it sound like the water pump has an object in the housing preventing it from operating, take the back off the machine to get to the water pump and take it apart to clear the blockage good luck eric

The pump that expels the water may be clogged or have a broken gear they are plastic. Thing like baby socks find their way into them and the clogged or break. New pump will be about 60 dollars if that is the problem, and someone to take old one out and put new one in. The diagram is usually somewhere on inside wall of washer taped, it includes a trouble shooting chart and part numbers.

see this causes:
It doesn't pump or spin
frozen pulley pump or belt broken pump, replace+tes the lid swithc for defective and replace.
It pumps, but doesn't spin
lid switch defective replace+coupler broker+belt defective+clutch worn+drive motor defective+transmission drive NOT shifting properly+basket drive worn :replace
It spins only with the lid closed safety reason, will not start.
see the diagram.

For others, not the OP from ten years ago:

Search Amazon "JR Products 97025 Chrome Manual Water Faucet" and this might be the same mechanism and parts as your Coleman 2231 pump. I went to my local shop in Calgary (starts with an H and ends with obo's, fixya considers that word to be profanity so I can't use the name H*bo's) and they had them there for $39. I swapped the plunger, cork and cylinder from the new one into my Coleman 2231 and will keep the bits from the new one for possibly the other parts in it.

turn the machine over &inspect the belt.Get the make n model # of it &go to an appliance shop give them the #'s and take machine &prop it against the wall on a tilt &loosen the bolts that hold the pump on REMEMBERING where they go loook at the way the belt is positioned &put&match the new belt where it goes,its like a figure 8 around this place &around that place &carefully take the old belt off &attach it and then but the belt on the pump that u took off &take a bar &tighten the slack up on the pump.Install the boths and there u go try it and let me know. I did it once with a Maytag washer when I was 8 months pregnant and The washer is doing just fine.

Washer Does Not Spin

If your washer doesn't spin, check to see if the clothes have jammed or are unbalanced in the drum before calling a repairperson. Unbalanced clothes will also cause a washer to shudder or "walk." If straightening out the load doesn't stop the washer from shaking, look at the feet underneath and be sure they are properly adjusted to keep the washer sitting level on the floor (you just turn them to move them up or down).
or try to follow this instruction

1. Open the lid and reposition the clothes. Close the lid and retry. The washer may not spin at all if the tub is unbalanced.

2. Examine the lid switch for wear. Replace a worn lid switch by first using a screwdriver to remove the top of the machine. Remove the cabinet holding the old switch in place by unscrewing the two console screws, tilting the console back, removing cabinet clips, and unlocking the lid switch block. Unscrew the mounting screws, and disconnect the ground wires before removing the old switch. Insert the new switch in it's place.

3. Look for excessive glazing or cracks on the sides of the belt. If these signs appear, remove the old belt by tipping the washing machine over on it's side, and unscrew the clamps securing the pump coupling with a screwdriver. Place the new belt over the transmission pulley, and then over the motor pulley's nearest edge, slowly turning the motor pulley to pull the belt around and into the pulley.

4. Replace the washer's motor by firmly grasping on the metal slip-on connectors holding the wires in place, allowing you to pull the connectors apart. Use a screwdriver to unscrew all of the screws holding the motor in place, and remove the old motor. Insert the new motor in its place. Secure the new motor to the machine with screws, and reconnect the motor's wiring harness.

5. Replace the washer's pump by removing the service panel on the back of the machine with a screwdriver and disconnecting the washing machine drain line and the rubber pump outlet hose. Remove the fasteners holding the pump to the bottom of the machine, along with the drive belt from the pulley below the pump. Replace the old pump with a new one, and reinstall the drive belt back on the pulley, reinsert the fasteners and reconnect the rubber pump inlet and discharge lines.

May this help your problem.

Thanks good day!

Sounds like the seals or checkvalve is worn out.You could try primbing it but is sat for a long time, correct?  

If the washer fills up with water and you hear the motor running but the agitator doesn’t move, the agitator coupling is the most likely problem. First pump the water out by turning the timer to spin. Once the water is out, turn the washer off. Now pull up on the agitator until it comes off (it may be hard to pull off). Now that the agitator is off, you can see the agitator coupling, reach down and try to turn the coupling. If the coupling turns freely, it is striped out and needs to be replaced.
