We have an older Kenmore 70 Series washing machine, model 110.72770100.

A few weeks ago it randomly stopped draining. Most of the time it works
fine, but maybe one load out of five the tub is still full of water when
the cycle is over.

I replaced the lid switch, but the problem continued.

We also had one load when the washer actually overflowed onto the floor.

So, I replaced the timer, the water pump, and the fill valve. There were no
obstructions in any of the hoses and the drive belt is in good condition.

But, occasionally it still doesn't drain and spin properly.

Any ideas what would cause this?

Thanks,

Sounds like you already replaced all the parts involved. Only
obvious thing left is a loose connection somewhere in the wiring.
I'd follow the wiring diagram and check all connections. If you
don't find anything doing that, then I'd catch it when it's
misbehaving and probe it out. All those parts must have cost
quite a bit of the cost of a new machine.

You did everything I'd have done.

Check for corroded connections someplace. You replaced most everything
electrical already, but if there is a wire to something that is not
contacting properly, that will negate the other parts.

Depending on the age of the machine, unless I was sure it was fixed I'd
consider replacing it rather than throw more money at it. .
