I am leaning towards timer or gearbox, although I don't hear any noises
out of the ordinary (grinding etc).

I take it your have removed the cover. Sometimes the pump get clogged
with "stuff" like some loose threads from clothing. Locate the pump,
disconnect the hose(s) and look for a clog.

In most machines you can drain the water almost completely by lowering the
drain hose to below the bottom on the tub. Even if the pump is clogged
the water will still drain.

There is a possibility that the clogged pump (which was jammed by the clog)
may have damaged something. If you pump has it's own small AC motor the
motor might have damaged itself from heat. If it is belt driven, the belt
may be worn. If it is indeed "direct drive" from the main motor, you might
have stripped the impellor from the drive shaft.

It's unlikely to be the timer or the wiring or that kind of stuff. A clog
is most likely.


HELP!!!
