Had the same problem as described above. Could hear it trying to pump out the water but had no lights except for the Door Locked light. Cleaned the pump filter by removing the bottom front cover. Unscrew the filter and clean out the lint and junk. Have a bucket ready to catch the water.

This is exactly what my machine was doing, as well. I fixed it by cleaning out the filter in front of the water pump.
Searching here, I found that you can remove the lower front panel (three screws along the bottom edge is all it takes) to get to the filter. With the panel removed, you'll see a round white plastic cover (about 3-4 inches diameter) that screws out. Get a bucket under the cover to catch the water that's in it (could be 2 quarts or more) and unscrew the cover.
The cover pulls out, revealing that is actually a screw-in plastic strainer. I found tons of coins, broken pens, paper clips, etc. in mine when I did this. A lot will be deep inside the black rubber hose that connects this filter housing to the washer drum. You can rake the stuff out with a bent wire clothes hanger. Shaking the black hose will help hurry the junk along and out of your machine. Screw the cover back on after the clean out and your machine should go back to normal.
Thinking about it, front loaders will have lots of small items flushed into the pump compared to top loaders. Coins you alway found in the bottom of the drum in a top loader, they all wind up in the filter of a front loader. And once it slow the drainage to a crawl the machine will shut down multiple times when it can't drain the water out completely, and it will never step up to it's max spin speed with all that water still in the drum.

Hello there:
This is normally due to a clogged drain pump
take
the bottom front panel off and removed the drain plug/trap. then clean all that out and now the washer should work fine
Now on me of these machines
The
drain plug is on the front of this washer - you can see it without
removing anything - there is a small 5"x3" panel on the front bottom
that you pull out and then the plug twists free - have a large pan ready
and unsrew slowly - water will come gushing out - have towels at the
ready!
There are 2 screws on the bottom of the larger bottom front panel - remove these and you can see inside
you will see the drain plug housing is connected to the water pump and
there are two hoses connected to the housing and the pump one coming
from the washer to the drain plug and one going from the pump to your
drain.
Remove the hoses carefully - using pliers to pinch the clamps together.
the hardest part of this is removing the drain plug housing and pump -
because it seems like you should be able to just remove the pump - but
you can not!!
There are two screws holding in the housing and pump - remove them and the whole thing pulls clear.
Once out you can make sure there is not more coins or **** in the thing.
Three screws hold the housing to the pump - mark these with a sharpie
before you remove them - because once it is off there are multiple ways
to re attach it.
Once free of the drain plug housing spin the pump a few times and put it all back together -
Hope this is very helpful for you
Best regards Michael

This might be a problem with actual switch in lid. Washing machine will NOW WORK, if the switch in lid is not working. It is there for safety, so small child will not reach in when machine is in use and get injured. Machine is designed to only work if machine is closed and switch under lids is working.
