Flore, there is a check ball that sits in the reservoir that goes to the pump. That could be all gunked up. I assume you have power to the new pump. Sometimes the motor conroller can be the culprit, but if you have power we'll rule that out. You can remove the basket to get at the reservoir and check ball. You will have to pop the top, remove the basket and nutate cover and unbolt the basket. If you don't have power to the new pump then check the motor controller. This will be the board on the left under the control panel. There will be a P-5 connection. 3 prong. You will want to see if there is 120V on the tan/yellow to the white wire while in drain. If you don't have that voltage, then you motor controller is causing the problem. First be sure you have 120V on the P1 connector, thats power in. Catriver

Kristen-follow the hoses-water comes into machine at the water supply valves-hot and cold which go into the tub-then there is a drain pump which is connected to the tub via a hose-the out put of the drain pump is connected to the drain through the back of the machine usually at the bottom and this goes into your houses' drain-follow the hoses and you shall reach laundry success-cheers Denny
If the tub is full of water you need to empty it. A shop vac with the paper filter removed works good. The drain hose is naturally squishy. Likely there is an object like a sock covering the drain hole in the outer tub. If it's jambed tight enough the back pressure from the pump would collapse the hose. If you remove the hose with water in the tub you will make a huge mess when you remove the sock. Can't really say more because the mod # you provided isn't correct. Not sure what's wrong, i've tried several combinations but no luck. Perhaps you could recheck it. Make sure it's the model number from the machine.
see the causes and fix it. God bless you If your washer won't drain, check these:It spins, but doesn't pump It doesn't spin or pumpIt pumps, but the water returnsIt spins, but doesn't pumpIf
your washer spins but doesn't pump the water out, the drain line is
probably clogged. In many washers, a small sock or other piece of
clothing can get between the clothes tub and the outer tub that holds
the water. If the clothing gets between the tubs, it may then get into
the drain hose that's attached to the pump--or even into the pump
itself. If it's in the pump, you need to remove the hoses from the pump
and pull the item out.To
remove the sock from the outer tub port, open the washer's main access
panel and remove the large-diameter rubber hose that connects the pump
to the bottom of the outer tub. Then, using needle-nose pliers, try to
grab and remove the clothing through the port. Sometimes
you can't remove the stuck clothing from below. Then you have to remove
the agitator, top of the outer drum shield, and inner clothes tub. This
isn't easy to do--and you may need special tools--so you might be
happier getting a qualified appliance repair technician to do the job.If
the drain line isn't plugged, the problem may be with your pump. Even
if the pump appears to be turning, the internal impeller may be broken.
If so, you need to replace the pump.It doesn't spin or pumpIf
your washer doesn't spin or pump water out but the motor is running,
your washer probably has a frozen pump pulley. If so, you need to
replace the pump. 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. It pumps, but the water returnsIf
the water that pumps out of the machine goes back into the machine
after the spin cycle, your washer may be siphoning the water from a
laundry tub that has a slow drain, back into the washer. The usual
remedy for this is to improve the draining of the laundry tub. (Is
something stuck in the drain?) Also, check for these problems:If the drain hose reaches more than about 4 inches into the laundry tub, cut off the excess. If your drain hose is lower than the washer's cabinet, install an air gap/siphon break assembly.

1 Look at the drain hose to make sure it isn't kinked or clogged. If there is a piece of clothing lodged in there, clear away the hose from the pump and yank the clothing out.
2 Take a look at the switch under the lid of the washing machine. If it doesn't click when you press it, it may be broken and the washer may stop during the drain cycle. Call a repairman to repair or replace the switch.
3 Examine the clothes tub and the outer tub of the washer for anything that may be stuck in there.
4 Open the main access panel of the washer and take out the large rubber hose connecting the pump to the lower part of the outer tub.
5 Check to see if there is a piece of clothing stuck in there. If so, use a pair of needle-nose pliers to grab the clothing and pull it through the port. If it is difficult to reach, you will need to take out the agitator, the top part of the outer cylinder, and the interior tub to grab it. Unless you have special skills and tools, you may want to call a repairman.
6 Inspect the pump for a clog or frozen pulley. To check if the pulley is broken or frozen, take the pump out and attempt to turn it manually with your hands. If it's stiff or appears frozen, install a new pump.
This code is pertaining to a blocked drain. Check
the drain hose for clogs and kinks then clear it. There is also a
filter located inside the big black hose, the tub-to-pump hose, that
runs from the bottom of the tub to the drain pump. It can be accessed
through the bottom front panel and can be taken out for cleaning.
Remove the screws attaching the bottom front panel then pull the panel down and off. Prop up the front bottom edge of
the washer or cushion and lean it against the
wall to access the screws more easily. Loosen the clamp securing the
tub-to-hose pump to the bottom of the tub then take the filter out and
remove the debris. You should find foreign objects such as coins,
toothpicks, hairpins and the likes blocking the filter. Clear the filter from foreign objects and inspect the pump impeller by turning
it with your finger. The impeller may be restricted or damaged
resulting in the water not pumped out properly. Replace the pump if
the impeller is broken or restricted and doesn't turn freely. Reassemble
the machine by following the steps above in reverse order.
The top ring of the filter MUST be seated in the 3rd convolution from the bottom when installing the filter in the coin trap.
The drain filter/coin trap is blocked or the pump is no longer working. The filter/trap is located inside the big black hose that runs from the bottom of the tub to the pump and hence the name tub-to-pump hose. Clean the filter and inspect the pump impeller for damage or restriction.
Disconnect power then remove the screws attaching the bottom front panel to the cabinet then pull the panel down and off. Once the panel is off, you can now loosen the clamps securing the tub-to-pump hose to the bottom of the tub and the pump's inlet then take the hose out and clean the filter/trap.
You should find foreign objects such as coins,
toothpicks, hairpins and the likes blocking the filter. Clear the
filter from the foreign objects and inspect the pump impeller by turning
it with your finger. The impeller may be restricted or damaged
resulting in the water not being pumped out properly or none at all. Replace the pump if
the impeller is broken or restricted and doesn't turn freely or if the pump is no longer operational. You can tell the pump is no longer operational if all are clean and the impeller is in good shape and turning freely. Reassemble
the machine by following the steps above in reverse order. When installing the filter in the coin trap, the top ring of the filter MUST be seated in the 3rd convolution from the bottom.
First I would try to flush the pump, if the tub is still full of water. To flush the pump, take a garden hose sprayer and fit it tight into the drain hose. Give it a short shot of water, then stick the drain hose back into the drain. Put the washer on spin and see if any water comes out. You may have to do this more than once to clear the pump. If that does not work, siphon the water out of the washer and disconnect the hose from the pump to the drum. Clear the hose the best you can, pour a little water into the drum to check it. Check the pump too, take it apart if you have to.
