Have you checked the level sensor and are there any signs of damaged wires with breaks etc?

No obvious damaged wires.
Not sure what the level sensor is,or where it is located.

Normaly either mounted on the drum case or on the machine frame with a long lastic tube connected to the drum.

If blocked then it may think the machine is already empty and hence wont run the pump and stops the cycle.

If the machine is stopping after filling and refuses to do anything else, I would suspect the heater element.
WM's ive come across sit and wait until the water is upto temp, if the heater is fubared then it will sit there indefinately.

Get Mr Dusty inside the machine with his meter, make sure the machine is unplugged, disconnect the leads from the heater element, and measure the resistance of the heater element, if its fubared it will read open circuit, some other resistance reading then its probably ok.

Just my 2p worth, but worth checking for, imo

I'am now starting to get very annoyed with this washing machine.

But one last try.

Symptoms.
Machine fills with water,but will NOT SPIN...because machine will not EMPTY. :-/ :-/

Have fitted and correctly wired up a new pump...NO JOY.
Have cleaned the "water out pipe".there is no blockage....STILL NO JOY. :-/ :-/
Have cleaned out the "Water sensor pipe"....STILL NO JOY. :-/ :-/
Mr Dusty has also made a large dent in the side of the machine with his boot,but STILL NO JOY.But he said that it made him feel better

I think that we may have to admit defeat on this one ,unless any clever OOFer can come up with a solution.

Thanks Taxi Driver.

After the machine has filled with water ,it behaves normally until it is time to empty the water.Then it just stops.
And it will not spin when it is full of water.It is so frustrating. :-? :-?

Ahhh ok.....understand now....so forget the heater element idea, doubt it will be that.
It wont spin whilst it thinks water is inside, you would have a flood if it span full of water!
I think level sensor must be ok, as it fills ok, and wont spin, cause its correctly reporting water level.
It isnt the pump, coz you've changed it......and i seem to recall you said in an earlier post, there wasnt any voltage at the pump.
So i think id have to opt for controller board unfortunately, as another suggested.....as theres not much else in a washing machine
