My Kenmore doesn't drain water half of the times????

Question

My Kenmore doesn't drain water half of the times and does the same thing when it needs to squeeze the water of the clothes???

After its cycle is done it makes a ticking noise which use to indicate that it is about to drain water before but now nothing happens after that ticking noise???

Can someone please help?????

That might just be caused by a defective lid switch or lid switch actuator. Those should be the first things to check.
