Default Anyone ever fixed a washer?

Our washer won't pump the water out (dirty before rinse cycle) anymore. WOrked fine yesterday, nothing today, not even a drip and the pump won;t even turn on.

Could be a wire, could be the actual pump. Anyone ever replaced the pump?

I figure that if I have done a plenum fix, i can do a pump replacement.

Can anyone let me know if this is a DIY thing?

There is a couple common things to check. Alot of times the motor will have a thermal overload switch that trips when the motor gets too hot. Usually there is a button on the motor to reset it. If not that there is also usually a big relay/solenoid which controls power to the motor. Relays fail after time. I'd look for the relay and find out if it's working.
