We had a blocked drain and we already took care of that. After we put it back together though it will not run water completely or spin completely. It just keeps pausing.

Hello, problem here is the spin control board is bad. Remove panel under the door and you can locate the spin control at the rear right of the machine screwed to the floor. Replace it and you will be all set. Mike

If your washer won't spin, check these:
It doesn't pump or spin
If it doesn't
pump water out or spin, check to see if the motor is running, then proceed as
follows:
If the motor
is running, your washer probably has a frozen pump pulley or a broken pump
belt. To check the pulley, remove the pump from the washer and try to rotate
the pulley manually. If it doesn't turn freely--if it's frozen or
stiff--replace it. If the pump belt is broken or looks quite worn, replace
it--but be sure to check the pump pulley before you change the belt.
If the motor
isn't running, the lid switch may be defective. If so, the washing machine
can't spin and may not function at all. The switch is inside the washing
machine main housing near the door frame. Often you have to raise or open the
top or front of the washing machine to get to the switch. If it's defective,
you need to replace it.
It pumps, but doesn't spin
If your
washer pumps out the water but doesn't spin, check these:
The lid
switch may be defective. If it is, the washing machine doesn't spin. The switch
is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame. Often you have
to raise or open the top or front of the washing machine to get to the switch.
If it's defective, you need to replace it.
The motor
coupler may be broken. Many Whirlpool®-manufactured washers use a small,
relatively inexpensive motor coupling. It's plastic and rubber and is mounted
to the shaft of the motor on one side, and to the transmission on the other.
Over time, the coupler wears out and fails. You may need to replace it.
A belt may be
broken. Many washing machines have one or two belts. If a belt is broken or
badly worn, you need to replace it with a genuine belt from the manufacturer.
(Some washing machine belts are designed with special characteristics not found
in automotive belts.)
The clutch
may be worn. If your washer is a GE, it may use a clutch to come up to the
proper spin speed. As the clutch wears out, it may prevent the unit from
spinning well or at all. If the clutch is worn, you need to replace it. For
this job, you probably want to hire a qualified appliance repair technician.
The drive
motor may be defective. Many washer brands use a reversing motor. For agitation
the motor runs in one direction, for spinning and draining, the other. It's
possible for a motor to burn out in one direction and continue to operate in
the other. If this happens, you need to replace the entire motor.
The
transmission may not be shifting properly. Older washers produced by Whirlpool®
have a transmission with an electro-mechanical shifter. If the shifter becomes
even partially defective, the unit may drain the water but not spin. This is a
complex system, if your washer has a shifter problem, you may want to hire a
qualified appliance repair technician to repair it.
The spin
bearing or basket drive may be worn or seized. These components allow the inner
tub to spin freely inside the outer tub. When this is the problem, you usually
hear a loud sound during the spin cycle. Call a qualified appliance repair
technician.
It spins only with the lid closed
For safety,
washing machines are made so that they spin only with the lid closed. The lid
switch prevents the spinning action when the lid is up.

It sounds like the motor is going out. The motor will shut down when it gets to hot and once it cools it will try to work again. Motors are around $150.00 on the average. You can look at the motor and get the part number off of it and then look on eBay and find one a little cheaper.
SOURCE: My Frigidaire washer was running a cycle and then
I had this exact problem. The drain filter on the bottom of the machine was stopped up. There are directions on how to remove it and clean it on the internet.
My EWD1477 was doing this a year ago and I fixed it. Then it started
doing it again a month ago and I seem to have cleared it again.
Firstly, remove the drain hose from where it is inserted into a laundry
sink hole to make sure it is not blocked or sealed in with sludge.
Secondly, make sure the machine is empty of water and clothes and then turn
the machine to off with the Program Selector Dial. Then turn off the power at
the socket and remove the power plug and leave for five minutes.
Step 1: put the plug back in and turn the power back on.
Step 2: turn the selector switch to the right (Whites/Intensive). The green light of the Start/Pause button
should be flashing and the green lights on for Prewash/wash, Rinses and
Spinning. Don't press any other buttons or change any other settings.
Step 3: press the Start/Pause button and wait for the machine to empty
any excess water. Press it again immediately after you hear water flowing into
the machine OR two audible clicks. The machine is now in pause mode with the
green light of the Start/Pause button flashing. Only the green light on the Prewash/Wash
button should be on. Leave it in pause mode for 30 minutes and then press the Start/Pause
button to recommence the cycle.
Step 4: If the Start/Pause button begins flashing, water stops flowing
into the machine and the three green lights mentioned above are back on, turn
the Program Selector Dial back to off, wait 10 seconds, and repeat the process
above.
Step 5: If when you then turn the Program Selector Dial to
Whites/Intensive and hear the two audible clicks, immediately press the
Start/Pause button to set the machine in pause mode. Wait 30 minutes. Then
press the Start/Pause button to recommence the cycle.
Hopefully the cycle will run without a problem.
