First wife notice washer not draining periodically. Did not happen to me for sometime but when it did happen, I could not get it drain and/or spin. I also notice the timer remained on turning until I turned it off. Now I am not sure if it is a drain pump or timer issue. What can I do to find out which part is the problem? I do have a digital ohm meter.:rolleyes:

Great! What I have done was attached leads of digital reader to drain pump connectors plug in unit, turned timer to drain cycle and pulled to start the timer to supply power to drain pump. The digital meter reading was near 120vac. Thus timer is supplying power to drain pump. The pump is not clogged though removed drain pump "propeller" and notice collar (plastic) at base of spindle where it slides into housing and meets enclosed motor broken. Also small particles what appears to be sand on outside of drain pump housing. From all of this I gather that the pump is faulty not the timer. All that said, I removed broken collar plugged in drain pump turned on power supply to drain cycle and pumps works but rattles. I believe that the issue maybe the broken collar which is a very small part. Who will have it?
