We can run maybe a dozen loads before we encounter the situation where we open the door and the tub is full of water (when it should have spun out). This has been going on for a year now. Normally we just spin the dial to the 3rd spin cycle and restart it - and it works fine. Good for maybe another dozen loads. Today however, it refused to cooperate and it repeatedly would not spin. (I took out some clothes thinking it was unbalanced but it did not help). I listened closely to the last spin cycle and what I noticed was that the tub did not drain. It tried to start spinning with a tub full of water - but could never get up to speed. Each time when the washer turned to 'off' I would move it back to spin 3, and restart it. No luck. I finally then pulled power cord, and powered up and then down. And the next time, it worked.
We also noticed sometimes the water is sudsy, which makes me suspect the tub never drained from the 1st or 2nd spin cycle.
The door lock light comes on bright the entire time.
I have checked and bypassed with jumpers all of the 'off balance' switches in the past and this has never solved the problem.
It's not like there is just a little water in the tub, either it's full or it's gone, so I dont THINK it's a problem with the pump drain line... could I be wrong?
Any advice is sincerely appreciated.
