Problem
Drain pump smelled and drew extra current.
Tools
No tools needed
Repair & Advice
The washing machine error code indicated a bad motor position sensor. It turned out to be a partially burned out drain pump. Although the pump worked during the diagnostics, it was weak and the motor coils had burned insulation. Changing the pump was easy, access was from underneath the washer. No tools were needed, it just rotates out and the wire connectors slide on and off.

Repair & Advice
Upon researching a possible cause for my washer being dead, I decided that I needed to change the control module, so I ordered that and ordered a drain pump too because research also said that a faulty drain pump can blow the control board. The control board was extremely easy to change and it came with an additional fuse that is needed to work the drain pump. I finished the control board installation then installed the drain pump. I then ran the machine through a cycle but when it came time to drain, the pump would not come on and I got error code 37. I rechecked my connections at the drain pump...still would not come on. This had me stumped for a few days, so I did more research which did not help much. I was all set to blame it on a faulty diverter valve, but I said I would check the pump connections at the control board....well remember that fuse that I had to add on.....low and behold I did not fully snap one end of the connection! Washer works perfectly now....also note that the drain pump also comes with a fuse, but you don't need that one if you use the one that comes with the control board. Moral of the story,....always check your work
