Washer not draining, pump continuity ok
Hi,
I've watched a couple of videos on youtube, but I don't know what to do next.
I checked the pipes that connect to the pump under the washer. No real obstruction there. I only found a curved piece of metal (labeled "2") inside the black pipe (labeled "1"). Maybe something broke apart above and that curvy piece fell down.
I also checked continuity on the pump with a multimeter, and it's fine. Could the pump still be faulty?
Additional information :
-I found water pooling both before AND after the pump (on the "washer side" and on the "wall side"). There seems to be a non-return valve after the pump (red arrow). When I put my finger through it, water backflows.
-I can turn the propeller on the pump with my fingers, so it's not stuck. Should I pull the white piece (labeled "3") to open the pump and clean it anyway?
Any advice is welcome!

Your arrow is pointing to a check valve.
The water can get pumped out (drain) but doesn't gravity flow back in.
I don't know what that piece of metal is.
In picture 3..... that white piece is the impeller. Supply power to the motor and see if it spins.

pump turning but...
I guess it's not pumping properly. If you watch this video that I've uploaded https://youtu.be/13-2Et2c-JA
you'll see what I mean.
But the washer's drum turns very slowly (https://youtu.be/INLITe66sf4). Are there 2 problems here (pump and drum)?
Thanks
