check underneath but normally the pump is a stand alone unit at the bottom of the tub
it gets its power from the program board when it is progressed from wash to spin
problems that stop it from working mostly come from items stuck in the pump impeller preventing the motor from spinning
look for coins , hair pins , bra wires etc that get lodged in the pump housing
Sound like it could be some "dirt" in the "air-trap-tube", so the machine dont get the signals that says it's empty. This also can also make problems for filling. This "air-trap" is the plastic tube, mounted upwards on the bellow hose, between drum and pump.
Could also be a pressure switch, or pressure sensor problem, but this is not very common:)
Go on utube and search for this issue. It will show you how to disassemble the machine and get to the problem spot. Easy to do just did it last week. Stupid design flaw
If a coin goes in the drain line and is the same diameter it can stay in and sometimes flip and act as a flapper. One time it may be open and the next flip and close the line off. Take the line off and try and see if it is obstructed.
The washer sees the water in the tub and is trying to drain. The drain pump is either bad or there is something stuck in the pump. The pump is located on the back right side looking at the washer from the front. Unplug washer and empty water from tub. Take the back panel off, remove drain pump which more water will come out so have a wet vac ready. Check inside the pump for coins, lint, etc..., If you find something stopping the pump clean and reassemble and run the washer. The pump will have to be replaced if it does not now work. If there is nothing in the pump, replace the pump. Part number w10217134 retails for $95.20.

the ld code means a long drain, what you probably have is something blocking the drain pump. you can get to the drain pump from the back of the unit and it will be the pump on the left as you face the back. you will need to remove the hose going into the pump and be ready for water to come out. sorry but you need to check inside the hose as there will be something blocking it. like a coin or some lint or a small sock. when you get the item out of the hose then it should work again. you do not need to reset the control. once it knows the unit is draining properly it will be ok.
check to see if there is a small coin in the grey drain hose that joins the pump also see if theres a coin stuck in the black sump hose to the pump.you will have to remove the front panel first.two screws underneath the front a one under the soap drawer.the paddles pull out put small screwdriver in the middle hole and pull hard toward you,they will come out also blow through drain hose to see if somthing stuck coins act like a valve and cause inttermittent draining problems,also check pump impeller isnt damaged it may look ok(white).hope this helps.
I had the same problem.... It would stop on the rinse cycle and beep. Check to make sure you can hear the water pump running or if you can just hear an electrical hum and then it quits, it may be a problem with the water pump.The water pump can be accessed by removing the tub, reach down the center of the agitator and remove plastic bolt, remove the stailess steel tub and then remove the plastic oval shaped cover at the bottom of the main tub to access the pump impellor. Make sure the impellor turns freely, if it does not you may have a problem with the pump motor. We had a gold chain go missing and it showed up wrapped around the pump shaft causing it to bind at times. It took me two tries to fix it but now it runs 100%.
