When I turn it on, the motor coil hums but doesn't spin. In the past something had fallen into it and I could remove it by hand or work it loose with a wooden dowel. Not budging this time. Drain flows free so I'll wait ask the wise folks here for any ideas, and then remove it tonight.

Much obliged!


Thankye fellers!!! Update.... one whack with a hammer to a wooden dowel and that's all it took. Good for another 2000 miles.


I'm curious:

Did you try the allen wrench from below?

Hi DD, I had a wrench in pocket ready to try, but a dowel in my hand, and tried the dowel first.
