at the bottom of your machine there is a flap , flip this off and in there is a filter that get`s clogged up with sediment from your month`s of washing ( it is also designed to catch coin`s etc ) clear this out ( you will lose some water so have a mop ready ) re assemble and it should be OK . if it is still the same then there is a good chance that your motor brushes are on the way out . it is an easy repair job i change mine myself . saves on rip off call out charges for a repair man !

This sounds like a problem with the belt on the machine. You can try and replace it yourself using a website that offers the parts and shows pics of the repairs or use the manual. Otherwise, an appliance company could replace the belt. There are some good websites on appliance maintenance and/or go to the manufacturer website.

a belt to the drum could be bad or slipping, the drain pump could be bad, a pipe could be clogged, the electronic control could be faulty and not telling the pump to drain, or the drum to spin.
It could be a whole lot of things, contact a maintenance person, and let them tell you what it is and let them fix it. The amount of money you could spend on the "let me see if this is it" syndrome is normally a lot more then what a repair person would charge, plus it is getting fixed right and may even still be under warranty.

I'd bet money on the fact that your motor needs new brushes. I've had this happen many times and it is easily and reasonably inexpensively fixed by a washing machine engineer. Either contact your local electrical repair man or the manufacturer of the machine itself.

Lint or a sock blocking the waste somewhere, Undo the drain making sure that you have the toasting tray from the oven handy, and a bucket.

check the filter, mine had a wire twist tie (for rubbish bags) in it so wouldn't drain. An icky job but quik fix. Good luck

Ours is doing the exact same thing...we have to take it somewhere to get it repaired. It's a bummer for sure. My husband thinks it's a relay switch.

I'd go with Charlotte's answer,this occasionally happens with mine and it's always caused by debris near the pump.
