Hi got a washer/dryer top load combo that is only 6 years old. It just stopped draining the other day. Did one load. Worked. Next load. Didnt. Replaced the pump motor with a new one and checked the lines for any blockage but they are good. Any ideas? Does the spin cycle good and everything else but will not drain. Driving me nuts! Any help/ideas would be appreciated!
Doug

A dumb question, but have you checked your pump? If the impeller does not turn it will not get rid of the water. It could be caused by a foreign object in the housing, obstructing the movement of the impeller. I had that problem on my washer .

I have also seen cases where a quarter or similar coin gets into the pump and prevents the discharge flapper to rise enough to let the water drain. It will seem like a clog or restriction during drain, where a trickle of water gets by, then the pump stops after a failed attempt to drain.
