Be sure the drain pipe that the drain hose goes into is high enough(check the owner's manual or an online PDF of it). Without more info that's the best I can do.....I'm assuming that it IS draining, just not completely.

The lid switch is under the large motor controller board on a plate

Your motor controller board could be faulty.

That is fault code 49 49. (00110001) Cold Valve Coil Faulty The Motor Control Module has measured a voltage from the valve diagnostic circuit that indicates the cold valve is faulty. The most likely cause is that the valve harness has not been connected correctly or the valve is open circuit. See fault 48 for service procedure. 48. (00110000) Hot and Cold Valve Coil Faulty The Motor Controller module has measured voltages from the valve diagnostic circuit that indicate both the hot and cold valves are faulty. The most likely cause is that the valve harnesses have not been connected correctly or the valve is open circuit. Primary Source: Wiring. Action: Check the valve harnesses are correctly fastened to the valves or the pins are not bent backwards. Secondary Source: Water Valves. Action: Check the valve coils are not faulty (open circuit). Tertiary Source: Motor Controller module. Action: Replace the Motor Controller module.

The tub is probably pretty dirty. Try cleaning the washer with CLR. Visit this information: http://www.ehow.com/info_8053120_clr-clean-washing-machines.html

If you are saying 1is the first onleft and 5 is moving to the right then this is indicating motor stall.The fault usually is most often wiring harness,motor winding or rotor senor an lastly controller.

As the lid switch controls the spin operation (lift lid spin stops)for obvious safety reasons it also controls the out of balance arm at the right rear of the bowl. you can access this by reaching your hand under between the bowl & the body you should feel a plastic arm hanging down, gently wriggle back & forth then try your spin again normally. If that doesn't work you need a serviceman to replace probably the cutout switch, in those model machines it is a common problem after long use. I have found that out of every 50 or so there will be a faulty batch produced as most are made cheap in China now.
