Hello,
Welcome to FixYa.
Based on your post, "wont drain or spin mode" this is usually associated with a plugged drain or pump.
These are the steps I'd suggest you take to move forward...
**Unplug the washer from the wall or turn off the breaker before attempting any repairs**
Get some towels and if possible a wet/dry vac. If the machine drained, it won't be too bad. If your machine is stuck full of water, that sucks...hopefully you won't get too wet. ( maybe you`re lucky enough to be close to a floor drain )
3. Insert the bit into the hole in the door. It will push in a tab, it doesn't take much force. Rotate the hole (clockwise) to 6'oclock and it should come free. (the edges are very sharp so be careful...I usually cover the edges with electrical or duct tape or wear welders gloves).
4. Once the door is out of the way you'll be greeted by a 3-4" plastic cap with wings so you can unscrew it by hand or with the aid of pliers.
( you should also see a ring with a string attached, if you pull this the door should unlatch, but getting the water out first is usually awont drain or spin mode - macmarkus_31.jpg>
THIS RELEASES THE DOOR LATCH IF PULLED
There is a small collector lip at the bottom of the cap, that is where you can hold the wet/dry vac to catch the water. Unscrew slowly so you don't get flooded, until it is unscrewed all the way out
5. Now pull out the trap and visually inspect the inside of the pump as well as the filter/trap.
Hopefully you'll find the item/debris thwont drain or spin mode - macmarkus_28.jpgr post here.

6. After removing any debris or obstruction`s re-install the button trap/lint filter and plug the washer in to power or reset the breaker and give it a test.
7. Run a load and watch for leaks. Leave the pump access door off until you are sure you screwed the cap in tight and there are no leaks.
Let me know if you require further assistance and if not and this solves your problem, please rate the solution I provided accordingly.
Thank you for coming to "FixYa" and good luck.

If you have a wet dry shop vac you will need to attach it to the end of the drain hose to remove the water.
Then you will need to remove the access panel on the front of the machine so you can get to the drain pump.Unscrew the cap but as you do this there will still be some water in there so you will have to vacuum it up as well,look for any obstructions that may be blocking the pump and remove them.
Once the blockage is remove you should be able to put the unit in a drain and spin mode with the cover and plug removed to check the operation of the drain pump you should be able to see the inpellar wheel rotate.
Okay, there was debris, but pump only pumps if i put the setting to drain on the hand cycle. Once i run a load, it stops again at the spin cycle and makes a double beeping noise.
Diagnosing same problem with mine. I'm thinking the drain pump motor may be shot...only works intermittently and I watched to see (Macmarkus's last pic above) if it would spin when the cap was off...with some coxing I did get it to spin but not every time. When it did spin it was with some vibration. When it didn't you could here the electric hum of the motor. Ill try to find a part number for the drain pump motor and replace next.
I am having the same problem, how did you fix it?
