However, it fills up with water and it spins and the timer knob moves but when it comes time to drain it just stops and nothing happens. I've taken it apart and checked the hoses and they are all clear. I've replaced the pump as well and still nothing.

Sounds like it could be a faulty lid switch but I really can't help any further without a model number. There should be a tag with model number and serial number. Eric

Is that what you are looking for? Also, I don't see a lid switch at all when I open it. Just a hole with nothing in it. Levi

Sounds like your lid switch has fallen apart which is common with that style switch. Here's your switch. Whirlpool 3949247 Lid Switch Assembly - AppliancePartsPros.com Eric
