My boyfriend replaced the water pump on my Amana washer and when we started it, we now have a grinding sound when in use. He also replaced the belt and is sure it is on right. He had to cut the water pump off because it was really stuck to the shaft. He cleaned everything up and it is still making a grinding sound. Any help is appreciated!!! Thanks.

Where is the grinding sound coming from.

Remove the front panel and see if you can locate where the sound is coming from.

You may have a bad tub bearing.
