Howdy IBAT125,
It sounds like a wet/dry shopvac is what you need. You can buy or rent one at The Home Depot. I suppose you will need to either call a repairman or look at buying a new washing machine too.
Either way, Have a Merry ChristmasCoach Dave at The Home Depothttp://community.homedepot.com/

I'm no expert but have been experiencing a semi-similar problem. I pressed the "pause/start" button, then changed the dial to "drain" and pressed "start". Worked for me. Good luck.

I take it that you have tried rotating the cycle knob slowly through the point at the end of the wash cycle to the rinse cycle? On many machines, this will trigger the pump to drain the tub. Yet I am guessing that you have already tried that.

You could try running a garden hose from the machine along the floor and then outdoors. Next, take the end of the garden hose and place it into the top of the machine so that the end of the garden hose goes to the bottom of the tub. Feed in another five feet of garden hose into the machine so that this five feet is below the water level. Now, hold the palm of your hand over the end of the garden hose at the bottom of the machine and while doing this, pull out the extra five feet of garden hose and then remove your hand from the end of the garden hose. This should have "primed" the end of the garden hose with water so that the water will get sucked out of the machine and flow through the garden hose to the outdoors.

If this doesn't work, then you will need another person to **** on the other end of the garden hose in order to get the water to start flowing through the garden hose.

My washer is full of water and won't drain or spin or anything. I intentionally stopped the washer to adjust it to spin the water off so I could restart the load with some more laundry...now it won't...

The best thing you can use right now is a wet dry shop vac attach it to the end of the drain hose to remove the water.
once you remove the water check the drain hoses and look for anything stuck in the or the drain pump itself and make sure there is nothing blocking the pump.
If all hoses are clear and there is nothing in the pump then you may need to replace the lid switch.There is also a chance that he drain pump is bad.

Stopped in mid cycle.

The timer went bad. If you move the timer manually to spin will it pump the water out? if it works that way then the timer is bad for sure

How to restart an interrupted front loading washer

try unpugging for a minute and then plugging it back in to reset cpu board, if this doesnt work make sure power is getting to outlet, easiest way i know is with night light in same outlet, if u have a light trhen u have a cpu problem some of these units came with a five year warranty on the control board, u would have to read your warranty in your manual to find out.
