I found on a forum to check drain hose. I did and still did not work. What is the next thing to do? thanks

If so the timer or the motor or transmission may be the issue, but if you can provide additional info we may be able to narrow it down.

I am in middle of checking the valve. It seems like the power still goes through it. How can I tell if it is clogged?

If so try replacing the valve assembly.
