Thread: Whirpool Calypso Washer problem..Please help!

Also need to check the sump in the rear of tub with flash light... (for objects blocking the check balls.. I have gotten in the habit now to check the sump every time I go for just the annual check up... you would not believe the amount of bra wires you can find in there..

So remove the pump assembly then I've used a small coat hanger with a small tip to fish out larger debris from that holding reservoir. Never know what you may find.

On the drain hose portion is a checkvalve built into the hose. Check it for restrictions or debris as well.

Post back and let us know what you find.

Thank you for your help, Jake!! I took the hoses apart and found a bent paper clip blocking one hose. I put it back together but it still wouldn't work. I was excited at one part because I thought I found a rubber ball that was causing the problem but then smacked myself when I realized that was the check ball. HA ha. So last night I looked again and the lighting was just right to show an obstruction in the drain hose (the only hose I didn't take apart). This morning I took that last hose apart and I found an underwire to a bra just like you said! I can't thank you enough for your help and I'm glad I didn't just give up and buy a new washer! Hopefully this one will last a few more years! My husband and friends are even impressed that I fixed it myself. Thanks again..you rock!

Excellent Cathy, good job.
