Seeking a wiring diagram / schematic for a Whirlpool GSW9545JQ0. My best guess is that it was built in 2000; that's the date on the timer.
The tub does not empty after a wash cycle. If spin is initiated, the tub empties at a reasonable rate. That leads me to believe that the drain pump is OK. I don't know if it has a drain solenoid valve, but I'd be surprised if it id.
The fact that it will drain while spinning but not before makes me think a of bad contact or damaged cam. Initially the problem was intermittent; also, the problem sometimes cleared by turning off & on. (My intuition is that it cleared because of the jarring mechanical snap of the timer.) It appears now that that the problem is continuous, but I've only cycled it a few times. I suspected (and still suspect) the timer (3954569). I can't find a new one; I have a used one coming. There's no obvious damage to timer. I'm reluctant to partially disassemble timer in order to do a decent job of cleaning & inspecting the contacts. It looks like the kind of assembly that might be difficult or impossible to reassemble without either more hands or some jigs or fixtures. I blasted it with contact cleaner, but it may not have even reached the contacts.
There's one small circuit board whose function is unknown to me. I've been unable to remove it; I can't figure out how it's retained.
Any advice, either on finding a print (which would allow more meaningful troubleshooting) or what to do next?
Thanks for whatever you may be able to offer,
