Buzzing sound is the drain pump trying to spin the water out. You have a blockage. Bail water out by hand until you can tip machine back against the wall & look under front right hand corner to locate drain pump. Sometimes turning the pump by hand will move the obstruction away & allow pump to start. If not then the pump will have to be removed from machine to get at the obstruction.
