How about save yourself some cash and put it on spin manually and try that see if that works.

your not going to like me? its the programer playing up,,,pricy part too?

SOURCE: ftf2140es3 won't completely drain or do final spin.
I have one that does the same thing at times. remove the bottom front panel. You will see a black boot that comes down from the tub. Loosen the clamp on top of the boot. You should be able to pinch the boot and feel something hard inside the boot. Pull the boot down from the tub and put your fingers down inside the boot and pull up the coin collector. It may be full of junk, coins ect. Clean it and replace the boot and clamp. This should help you.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
A washer's drain motors/pump drain after each cycle- wash, rinse(s) and during spinning.
I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to rinse or spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
Following are my complete and generic guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.
If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

Hello Bradley Clark - Does the cord or plug look damaged? If it does not, try resetting the unit by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes. If it proves to be ineffective, I suggest contacting a professional to move forward accurately. The may be possibly be experiencing an issue with the control board, faulty door lock assembly, faulty pump, or the timer itself is not operating correctly.

You need a technician to take a look at it, unless you have an error code on the display. It could be a belt or the motor itself.
I ran a diagnostics test and got a code of 43. This is the control board. It is a fairly expensive part just thought I would check and see if anyone has any input before I bought it.
I have the exact same problem as Chaploneywj. I am at least able to spin using the diagnostic test #9 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AekMgGpjM... I now have to change the control board. When I look online, I find 2 control boards for this machine http://www.partselect.ca/Models/FTF2140E... I guess it's the motor control board as it's one of the solutions here http://www.partselect.ca/Models/FTF2140E... while the other is not. Anyone can confirm ?
