The problem is probably the pump being clogged with an object. Typically it is a coin.
Remove the front bottom cover to access the pump. Remove the two hoses. Make sure you have a pan to catch the water from the hoses. You will be able to remove the objects after the hoses are removed.

Jabradshaw, thanks for saving me a service visit. In fact, I made money in the deal. I found $3.31 and a make-up crayon. Folks, don't forget that there are electrical connections where you access the pump, and water and electricity don't play nice together. So unplug the machine before you open 'er up.

    I am having the same problem but I'm not sure of what hoses. I removed one and nothing was in there. There is another clip I took off a second hose but the hose is difficult to remove. I've posted some pictures here:

My top loader Hisense washing machine doesn't wash but it spins, what is the possible solution?

If your Hisense top-loading washing machine is not washing but can spin out the water, it could be caused by a few different issues. Here are a few things you can try to fix the problem:
  1. Check to ensure that the washing machine is properly loaded and balanced. An unbalanced load can cause the machine to stop working or not wash properly.
  2. Check the water supply to the machine. Make sure that the water hoses are properly connected and that the water supply is turned on.
  3. Check the detergent dispenser to make sure that it is not clogged. A clogged dispenser can prevent the detergent from being dispensed and the machine from washing properly.
  4. Check the lid switch. If the lid switch is faulty, the machine may not wash but will spin out the water.
  5. Check the water level switch. If the water level switch is faulty, the machine may not wash properly but will spin out the water.
  6. If the problem persists, consider contacting Hisense customer service or a technician for further assistance.
It's essential to note that if the machine is not washing but it can spin out the water, it could be caused by a malfunction or damage in the water level switch, the timer or even the motor.

Water leaking on fast spin

hi Eamon.
this is what i found from the internet.
Washing machine leaks on spin Last updated on February 6th, 2017
Sometimes a washing machine leaks on spin, but not before. If this is the case, either it's going into spin with too much water inside, or something may only be leaking under the pressure and tub movement caused by spinning.
If you can see water running out of the soap drawer during spin it's probably gone into spin without pumping the water away properly. If it wasn't pumping water out at all it would not go into spin, but a partial obstruction can reduce the flow enough to allow a spin with the water unable to escape fast enough. This causes water to be forced up into the drawer or out of the steam vent at the back. If you suspect this check the last section of this article - Washer leaks from drawer
If water is coming from underneath when it spins then it's more likely to be caused by something leaking only under pressure. Check the door seal all around inside for slits and small holes, especially higher up, which may only open up and let water out when the washer is bouncing around on spin.
Other possible causes are hoses inside the machine which have small holes which open up during spin or which leak where they connect to the tub under spin conditions. These type of leaks often leave tell-tale rust or dry detergent marks. After that there could be a crack or small hole high up in the plastic outer tub which only gets exposed to water when it's forced around the tub during spin.
You are looking for something that is moving and allowing water out when the tub bounces around under load, or something high letting water out when it gets thrashed around the top half of the machine on spin. If you can't see anything obvious get a washing machine engineer

Water sprays into machine on spin cycle

the machine is programmed to spray water during the initial period of the spin cycle as an added method of removing any remaining suds
that stops then the spin cycle goes into high speed spin for that last few minutes
If the problem is that it continues to spray water until the spin cycle is finished it will be the program board or program controller switch

My kenmore won't pump out the water. what could

couple of possible reasons and this will vary by brand of machine...lid switch could be bad...some machines will wash or agitate with lid up but will not spin unless lid is closed..others will not do nothing with lid up....some brands will not spin if the water level switch can detect water in the tub...this means your machine didnt pump the water out of the machine so it could spin couple of reasons for this 1 bad pump or bad pump motor(some machines have a pump that is driven by a drifferent motor than the one that drives the transmission)usually these machines use the water level switch to activate(turn on/off) the pump when the machine goes into spin cycle... some machines the pump wil come on and stay on for the entire spin cycle...some machines the belt will be bad and you just need a new belt....first thing to do is see if raising the lid will turn the machine off when it is in wash cycle if it does not..then it will in spin cycle..if the machine will not work in spin cycle the lid switch will be the reason why..

In spin cycle, water sometimes does not drain at all; other times the clothes are wet, other times the spin cycle works fine. Problen can be rectified by placing the washer into spin cycle a few times.

when on spin check to see if you can hear a low whirring noise {the pump} if the machine is not pumping or not pumping fast enough for sufficient water to drain out of the machine then the machine will not spin due to having to much water in. i would also check to see if all filters on the waste water output are clear of any foreign bodies as this will reduce the speed of which the water is pumped out of the machine{some machines have 2 filters } good luck
