are you sure its the pump?
if the agitator is stuck it wont ever finish and move to the drain cycle.

Mine went out about 2 months ago. It was going to be 200$ for a new pump/motor and then I would have to install it myself. Said frick it, went to lowes and bought a new one for $450 I think.
ETA: It's a lot easier now to just replace the shite and buy a new one. Appliances aren't made to last more than 10 years these days.

Pump or the switch.

I bought a new pump ($20 on amazon) and when I took the old one off, realized there was a piece of plastic stuck in it.
Beware, no matter how much water you get out before disconnecting, there is about 5 gallons left in there.

I just went through this crap two weeks ago. Here's what I learned through some YouTube videos, trial and error, and a little bit of cursing:
1) Check the lid switch. If you don't hear it "click" when you push it down with a pencil or small screwdriver, then that's broken. Order a new switch on Amazon for $10.
2) If the switch isn't broken, check your hoses for clogs and then check the pump for clogs (like a rogue sock)
3) If no clogs, you might consider replacing the pump. Usually cheap and pretty easy. YouTube has some decent videos on how to do this repair.
4) If it still won't drain after 1,2, and 3, you're out of my realm of limited expertise.

Depends on many factors, like brand and model.
Some have electric pumps some have mechanical pumps.

Happened to me a while back. Went to the U-Fixit store to buy a new pump and the guy told me to check the pump and drain hose for a sock. I was skeptical but I checked it and sure enough, one of my wife's dainty little ankle socks was in the pump intake.

i had this same problem a couple months ago. researched the crap out of it on youtube. Change the lid switch. you can do it yourself in about 30 minutes. Buy the switch ($35) at an appliance store.

Good chance, and it's a really cheap fix if so. At least give it a shot. Mine quit draining earlier this year and I changed it out myself.

could be either. Unclog it and see if it drains. I've done this several times.

Probably a pair granny panties or yhat missing sock from last week putting the clog on you or the motor is out.

If you people are not picking up napoleons beers on a regular basis you should be ashamed of yourselves

I love these threads.

if its a front load washer, they should have a little door thing, mine is at the bottom. it should have a little plug you pull out. that is most likely clogged with lent and stuff. put a pan under it water will come out.
That should fix it, someone told me about it when mine wouldnt drain.

Clogged. The impeller is magnetic. Easy to stop from spinning.

How fricking hard can it be to make sure the hole is not stopped up?
