What I found was a bobby pin had gotten stuck in the return hose and had caused a partial clog so all the water could not get out and was pushing out the other end of the hose only when draining and spinning. I have removed the clog and everything is good far! I hope it was as easy at that! Thanks Gene, for taking the time to respond to my problem! Cheers!
