Yes the machine is spinning. I saw that this morning while she was
draining the rest of the water. As for the stream of water I am not
sure. She just told me about it before work.... We drain directly
into a wash sink, so the pump is not pumping too high and no chance of
a kink.

I drain directly into a sink next to the washer, and I'm almost
certain I had a kink.

My washer barely drained at all, but after I replaced the pump, I
couldn't find anything wrong with the old one, even when I broke it
open. The kink disappeared when I moved the washer away from the
wall, but I didn't try running the washer at that time. I wish I had.

The wsaher and its drain hose had been in almost the same location for
10 or 20 years (although I might have moved it a couple inches) and I
think the hose just got a little too much twist applied to it. When I
reassembled the whole thing, I had to move the hose to the far side of
the faucet
