Crackling sound continues when draining water. It operated with no issue for some time, but now the leak is back. When it first happened the leak from the drain pump got consistently worse.
SOURCE: water will not pump out
Before you replace the pump; check to make sure there is no debris in the pump or hoses. I just pulled a baby sock from inside the impeller part of my pump.
–It was an easy repair. Just unplug your machine. Remove the back access plate (2 screws). Disconnect the hoses (be sure to have towels handy – you may have up to 12 gallons of water drain out –I had about 2 gallons). With a flashlight inspect the impeller, if there is debris -it is most likely your culprit.
SOURCE: How come it will not drain water after running a
First place to check is the drain pump filter. Low and to one side on the front panel is the access to the pump filter,, A small hatch or maybe behind the kick panel.
Unplug electricity to machine.
Make sure the machine has as little water in it as possible, because when you open the drain pump filter any water in the machine will run out.
Lean the machine back against the wall will help contain any water left in the machine.
Unscrew the filter cover and clean. Check that a hairpin or bra wire or coin is not jammed in the pump impeller.
Replace the filter cover and test.. If you aren't able to do this or the pump still won't work, you probably need a serviceman to check it out.. You may need a pump motor replacement
Not a big job
Good luck....Nomess

I fixed the problem myself. I took the drain pump assembly out. I unscrewed it open and cleaned out the inside. I put it back together and reinstalled it. I also noticed that there was a wire from a bra that was stuck in in the rubber hose that leads from the tank into the drain pump - so no coins here but a wire. I of course removed it. So far i tested it once and it seems to work fine.
