Pump, drain assembly which is solenoid activated just buzzes when drain cycle starts...is the motor jambed or fried? any help would be appreciated
That sounds more like a jammed pump.
You need to check if the pump is obstructed, then test the solenoid and the pump by energizing the pump. If the drain pump is faulty replace it.
Observe strictly all safety rules if you DIY, the repairs must be done by qualified personell.
You can find replacement parts and diagrams by entering model number here.
It is so common that the drain leaks in many ways and is the most problematic fault in a washing machine.In this case you need to check the free running off the mottor manually, check the voltage on the motor,If absent the controller is a suspecct. check the capacitor of the motor. In all occasions it is important that your observation is most important and so is vital to the identification /rectification and solution. If you have noticed that water has leaked then as the drain hose pump/valve and fittings are located on the underside of the machine it is important that you look for possible leaks here. In some cases the drain hose would be clogged at the drain end to outlet of the house and so there will be back flushing resulting in overflow to the outside. Also the drain pump/valve can be clogged or the drain hose clamps can be loose on the grip which can all cause the leak to occurs. Removing and Cleaning the drain pump/valve, tightening of the hose is also very important. Also water can leak if there is gaps on the front door gaskets and must be checked but this will happen only during the cycle and not on the drain cycle end.
