Whats wrong with my machine?

I have a Kenmore 90 series washing machine & it fills up washes & rinses the clothes but will not drain nor spin. I emptied out the water from inside thinking it may be clogged with lint from a blanket I washed, tried again & nothing. So I turned the machine halfway up & checked the tube & it wasn't clogged...UGH HELP!!!

if it won't empty it won't spin.Presume no filter fitted which can be checked from front.
Otherwise,UNPLUG (not simply switching offat socket)turn on side with pump uppermost and take the hoses off the pump and check inside impellor chamber for coins etc.
Modern pumps are pretty poor and can often fail in a couple of years so it may need replacing
