Congrats on your new FF! It looks like it’s still in pretty nice shape overall. Based on what I saw in the video, I would expect that it should be a pretty easy fix. I’m betting that the pump is locked up. Going off of feeling the pump coupler on my FF, the amount of force it would take to twist it like that should be more than enough to rotate the pump. As cfz2882 said, that ring of dirt in the bottom of the machine lines up perfectly with the pump. My FF was given to me because it has a leaking pump, and it has a sling of dirt in the exact same places as your machine. I don’t think that shaking of the motor shaft is normal either, as I believe mine had a seized pump, and it just hummed. I’m wondering if the U bolt that holds the shaft extension to the motor shaft has come loose. As for getting the water out of the tub, I would also recommend siphoning it. Good luck with your machine!
Hope this helps,
