Our Frigidaire washing machine will not drain. We have changed out the timer switch thinking that electricity wasn't getting electricity to the water pump. We had the water pump checked and it is working. Any other suggestions?

Re:
Buba, check the lid switch for proper operation, on a lot of models if the lid switch is bad, no spin, no drain. You said you had the pump checked out. Im assuming that it was removed to check for a sock or other garment lodged in the pump. Other things you can check would be the hose from the pump to the tub, make sure it's clear and the drain hose where it exits the washer. Hope this solves the issue..

All front loading washers will fill and drain multiple times before it finishes. Unlike a top loader, a front loading washer will take longer to run because there is no agitator and will fill with water and drain multiple times. A front loader is more energy efficient than a Traditional top loading washing machine. A washer dryer combo will take hours to complete a cycle.
My whirlpool heavy duty 2 speed 7 cycle washer machine stopped working, It fills up and aggitates for the first cycle then when it should drain and spin it doesnt drain nor spin
Possibly the timer. next time it wont stop filling turn off the washer. if it still fills you have a water valve issue. Hope for the valve. Timers are big bucks.
if it fills and agitates but stops at the drain/spin portion, it sounds like you have a problem with the lid switch. if it thinks the lid is opne, it will not drain or spin.
