Recently, my Whirlpool 8 cycle/2 speed washing machine is leaving me with a gallon or more of water in the bottom, leaving my clothes soaking wet! I noticed it rinses and drains perfectly fine on the 1st rinse/spin cycle, but the final cycle is where it is not completely draining. What is causing this? What part would I need replaced as we would like to fix it ourselves.

Since it is working correctly through one cycle, that suggests that the problem is not mechanical but electrical. I would try replacing the timer, it is a relatively easy job that you should be able to do just fine.

(Also, don't know if I clarified this... it does actually spin on the last spin cycle, just that the water isn't drained out.) Thanks again!
