I have a top load washer/dryer combo. The washer will not drain. I have tooken out the laundry and drained it by hand, however when i try to unscrew the front, the screws will not budge whatsoever. I've tried plenty of screwdrivers as well as strength. I s there another way to get to the pump so I can reslove this issue?

This doesn't look like the best designed machine in the world for getting access to the drain pump.
You aren't going to get in through the front. Don't attempt to remove the door seals (only bad things will come of this!)
Looking at the diagrams in ftp://ftp.electrolux-na.com/ProdInfo_PDF/Webster/5995464004.pdf, I think your best route in is to tip the machine back (careful it doesn't topple onto you) and go in through the bottom.
Your first target is the strainer shown as item 40 on page 6. If that's clear, then look in items 41 and 35.
Use the coins you fish out to buy yourself a celebratory drink.

you will have to remove the rear panel in order to remove the front panel. The bolt and clamp are inside the front panel.
Hello trinileigh19 - Does the drain pump make a humming noise? If so, there may be a restriction in the drain line or siphoning. Otherwise since it is such a complex unit I would recommend contacting a professional to have either the pump or timer diagnose.

You can hear the motor run but the washer will not spin
SOURCE: Frigidaire Affinity Front Load Washer wont drain.
If your pump had something in it, it wouldn't have had to clog it, but rather just stopped the internal spinning. My coworker removed a dollar bill from his water pump, and it fixed the problem he was having (same as you've described) and the water pump worked well after it was re-installed.
Worst case scenario, you reinstall it and it doesn't drain and you spend 40 or 50 bucks online for the part. I would reinstall and see if it works. I'd bet on it.
