Our washer keeps hanging up. It seems to drain most of the water but goes into continuous beeping. Lights on are from left to right 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. Shaking the basket around helps temporarily. Is the machine easily serviceable?

If the lights on are exactly as you say in your post then that is fault code 234 which means the lid lock is open. The lid must lock & the lid locked light come on before it will advance into the spin mode after draining. If that is not happening then either the lid lock mechanism is faulty & must be replace or the control module is faulty and will need to be replaced.
