SOURCE: Washer stopped in mid-cycle and is full of water. I can restart the cycle, but
if it stops at #6 u need to change timer and motor
SOURCE: Front Load Washing machine won't spin, drain or rinse
if you have a shop vac this is time to vacuum the water of the tub and all the way down the drain hole for the next stage usally i tell customers to remove the drain hose from the stand pipe and vacuum the water out of the washer from the drain hose but because of the pillow this might not work in your case. Now remove the two screws on the front lower panel and pull the panel
in side you will see the drain pump if you did not have a shop vac go to the auto parts store and buy a pair of radiator hose clamps and clamp the hose line as close to the washer as possible.(but put down some towels as water always stays there) then pull the tub to pump hose by depressing the squeeze clamp(now while your at the auto parts id get a screw clamp to replace the spring clamp it makes putting the hose back on a lot easier)pull the hose off.Then pull the pump to drain hose off .Remove the two 5/16 in screws securing the pump to the washer base.Unplug the connector and remove the pump inspect the pump for foreign objects,broken or stripped impeller blades . if the impeller are stripped you will have to replace the pump then form the front of the washer take a piece of water hose with one end cut off and run it down the pump to drain end of the drain and reassemble the unit
SOURCE: will not drain after the wash cycle, will not enter the rinse cycle
In my opinion, you will need someone on site to find whether the program switch has failed or it is only the pump itself.
The former is quite expensive but the pump shouldn't cost more than $20-30 plus labor.
When you write 'does not respond,' do you mean it makes no noise at all or just doesn't pump?
If it makes no noise, it is likely the program switch.
If you can determine that it is the pump, this is often a fairly accessible and simple job not requiring a lot of tools.
Keep a mop handy though . . .

It sounds like the lid switch is bad.Does it act as if the lid is open even when closed? A common problem is that its mounting method fails (breaks off) after some time. Quick way to test is:
Find the plastic striker in the lid and under matching hole in the washer's top you should be able to find this switch. Try to operate (close) that switch with your finger or a screw driver and operate the washer while holding it down. If now it works, the switch is the culprit. Available on-line around $30.
