When to replace Pump?

a churning, grinding sound from pump. opening it, it looks clogged, should I replace it or clean it? how do I know when to replace the pump?

ANSWERS:

I would clean it first and then see if it still makes a grinding noise. If so, then replace it. You can find your part here: http://www.repairclinic.com/Kenmore-Wash...

Check the filter first. (If your washing machine contains a filter)
