Why isn't my washer draining or spinning?

Check that the drain hose is neither kinked nor obstructed, the debris filter is not clogged, and the door is closed. Ensure the drain hose is not frozen or clogged and is connected to a drain system that is not clogged. Make sure the drain hose is inserted 6 to 8 inches inside the drain pipe and that the washer is level. If the washer lacks sufficient power, it will temporarily not drain or spin until power is restored.
