Can you hear the water pump running when it is supposed to drain just before the spin cycle? If it doesn't, the pump motor may be bad or the pump itself may have blockage that stalls the motor. If it runs, but doesn't pump anything, look for pinched drain hoses, an internally blocked drain (a stray sock perhaps?) within the outer tub, or a plugged pump/loose impeller. Hope this helps!
Debris like a sock rarely enters the drain hose, but it can cover the water exit hole at the bottom of the outer tub. Some washers have a removable spigot on the tub so that something like a sock can be extracted without taking the inner tub out. Watch the water exiting from the drain hose--it should leave with considerable force and drain the tub in a few moments. If not, and there is nothing floating about within the outer tub, then concentrate on the actual pump, not it's motor. The impellers in these pumps are plastic and are lightly splined to the motor shaft. The splines can shear off in the impeller causing it barely turn or not at all. It may be possible to 'super-glue' the impeller to the shaft which MAY result in a permanent repair. Otherwise, replace the entire pump mechanism. Good luck!

thanks for the sugestion, but that is not the problem. No sock in any of the hoses and the pump is working fine. I should have indicated that this is an intermitent problem.
