Just a thought because I had a similar problem. I had Sears come out to fix my problem. All they did was present me with a list of expensive parts they wanted to replace. The technician made one mistake. He said that he thought my machine was not draining properly. He was right because I fixed the problem myself. There is a drain hose on the back of your washing machine that lies inside a drain in a little cubbyhole behind the washer. It is between the hot and cold water supply lines to your washer. The problem I caused was that I had pushed the drain hose so far into the drain that it was causing a lot of suction and the water was slow to drain. To fix the problem all I did was pull the drain hose out so it was not so far down inside the drain. Does that make sense? I guess you have to give the drain a little bit of airflow around the drain hose to make your washing machine breath and drain properly. I hope this helps.
