Front Load Washing machine not draining and or not spinning

the pump is clogged so,put Draino-max in the drum and wait 1-2hrs. this gets rid of the pet-hair strings etc. out of drain.Run on heavy-duty use hot-water it may take 2-cycles to open the drain,also chek to see if hose is not clogged.

check out the security switch located at the lid , it could be defective , with a multi meter check for continuity, thanks AJ

the pump is plugged gain axcess to the pump and remove the restriction get your wet/dry vac remove the water in the tub and have handy also a small bucket to once you remove the cap to remove the object then it will go into spin

clog in drain hose or more likely the pump

Replace the timer.
This is a neutral drain machine. If there is no natural pause in the timer at the end of the rinse cycle the timer is bad.

top loader ??? or front loader??? if top loader you have broken your lid switch, will fill, agitate, but when it comes to drain/spin for safety reasons if the unit doent recognize the lid closed it will not advance...if yo have a front loader then i would suspect that something has gotten into the pump assy and preventing drainiing of water therefore will not spin

it seems to me ur washer transmission is going out or already there

With a heavy blanket you probably have an out-of-balance condition which doesn't let the machine spin out and drain. This would keep the door lock from opening. Try hitting the Stop button twice. This should cancel the cycle and let the door lock open after a little while. Then either redistribute the load or add some items and run a Spin and Drain cycle.

My Frigidaire front loader washer model LTF2140E doesnt want to drain the water when set to wash (heavy-normal-quick selectors). It washes put thats it. I have to switch the selector to drain/spin then rinse/spin cycle to finish the load. I checked the drain hose for any clogs....everything is clear. Any suggestions? Also,iIs their any reset buttons for this type of washer?
