My washer will not drain

If it spins, but does not drain, the drain hose might be clogged.

Does your washer fill while the lid is up? Some do. Some don't.

If it does, and if your washer will not spin, the first thing to check is if you hear a click when you shut the lid. You'll be listening for the safety switch to close (turn on) to allow the tub to spin. If you don't hear it, sometimes you can get a plastic table knife or spoon or fork handle (disposable eating utensils) and slide it in the slot that your lid latch goes into, wiggle different directions while the washer is on and set to spin.

DON"T use anything metal - plastic only. If it makes the spin cycle start, you probably have something out of position. It might be a broken mounting bracket.

If the switch is the problem, and you're pretty handy with tools, it's an easy fix to replace the switch. Sometimes you can see it looking through the slot to confirm that there are 2 wires connected to it

Always unplug an appliance before removing covers or doing any repair.

If you want to test the switch, you can by first confirming it is not plugged in, then remove the wires and use an ohm meter or continuity tester. When pressed, the switch should read zero ohms between the contacts on the switch. (Some cheap ohm meters don't read zero, but 0. 01 or similar.)
