HOOVER CA 232 BOUGHT NEW ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO, IT IS USED EVERY DAY. THE TURN CONTROLL WHEN ON CAN JUMP CYCLE AND SOMETIMES THE MACHINE IS FULL OF WATER WHEN IT HAS STOPED BUT THE DOOR REMAINS LOCKED ? DONT THINK IT HAS DONE A FULL WASH BUT IT HAS BEEN ON FOR HOURS . ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN THE MACHINE HAS DONE A CYCLE THE CLOTHES DONT SMELL VERY FRESH.
? CONTROL PANEL BROKEN , PUMP, OR HOSE .
SHOULD I JUST BIN IT.

Could be a garment trapped in the hose.
If the pump is heard running during empty check the filter first and then check the hoses.
If the timer I would bin it.
