I move the dial to the polsition where it should start the drain and spin cycle but it just humms...If I leave the washer on the dial rotates and starts agitating when it hits a certain spot on the dial otherwise it just has a slight humm until it gets to a position where it agitates. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Check the pump motor. Remove the hoses from the pump and check them for a clog. Post the results.

It might be from the motor or from the drain pump. Have you checked the lid switch for continuity? Have you checked the pump and its hoses? Gene.
