I can't believe the repair history I've had with mine. Westport Appliance has probably made more than this thing cost new in repairs over the years. They're getting no more of my money.

Wife says it won't drain. OE error code.

Clean the filter, nothing except some lint and part of a broken toothpick. Try and run it...still won't drain. Now it's full of water and of course the drain hose is clogged. Fix that and spend the next 20 minutes filling the dog bowl about 30 times.

Flip it up and check the bellows underneath, everything is clean.

To get to the pump you have to remove the top, the soap tray, screws, control panel, screws, front gasket, screws, front panel...jesus.

Pull the pump out. Looks clean. 15 ohms right in spec. Rip the pump apart...and find the rest of the toothpick in the impeller, all 1/2" of it.

Reassemble pump, get the front on, gasket, control panel. Realize I forgot to reattach the drain hose

Remember I can access from the bottom so I fix it there. Plug it in...and just get an electrical hummm

Turn the water on and it works fine

All that for a piece of toothpick. At least I learned something.
