Kenmore 80 Series Heavy Duty washing machine suddenly will not drain. Tried different settings, nothing. My Kenmore Series 80 often fails to drain in the Wash cycle. The Permanent Press cycle works fine. All cycles' fill and agitation works fine. So this sounds like a Timer problem. Other than simply replacing the timer, is there anything about it that I can check? Thanks, Ed
Check the following before replacing the timer.
1. Clogged drain line or water pump
Check to see if there's something stuck inside the pump or the drain
hose connected to the pump (pump is usually located at the bottom
and towards the back of the washing machine).
2. Water Pump
If the drain line isn't clogged, you may have a problem with the
water pump such as a frozen pulley or a broken impeller. If that's
the case replace the water pump. Note: if you have a belt driven
washer, check the belt(s) for cracks, as this would be a perfect
time to replace the belt(s) if needed.

I tried it on all different settings and when it gets to the drain and spin cycle it just stops. Ive tried it on every setting Permanent press,short cycle regular and nothing works. I've tried raising and lowering the lid and I even push the lid switch with a key and that does nothing
