   Hello It is a kenmore that means it is either a GE washer or a Whirlpool washer as kenmore doesnot make appliances..they have them made for them and just put their name on them......now there is a few things could be wrong..1 their is a coupling between the motor and the pump and this has finally worn out...2 on some models the pump is belt driven and the belt could be bad...3 on some models the pump is seperate from the drive motor and has its own motor just for the pump...this could be running but the pump part could be bad....even if it worked somewhat before that still does not mean the pump or the coupling that connects the pump to the motor wasnt going bad.....nearly all machines will allow the water to drain out if you just lower the drain hose lower than the tub...try letting the water drain into a small bucket and then see if it wil spin...it should spin once the water is drained out but you will have to keep the drain hose in the bucket lower than the tub through the spin cycle....this should work and allow you to get all the water out of your machine....dont use it anymore once you do this as you could damge other parts by trying to make it work...the parts and labor to fix this shouldnt be over 100 dollars..
