Washing machine gets to the rinse cycle then won’t move any longer. Therefore it doesn’t drain and I have a tub full of water. The machine starts doing a buzzing sound and nothing happens. I do sense a minor smell similar to something rubbing. If I wait a bit and turn the dial a couple times eventually it will kick back in and finish up the rinse cycle. I’ve taken the front off and from a quick visual and a checking of the hoses I don’t see anything. Thoughts? Thanks,
does the lock door light come on??
if not it is the locking mechanism.

There is not a locking light to look at. I did go ahead and start it back up tonight and all seemed to look fine then peeked inside on the spin cycle and it shut down completely and will not turn back on. Pull the knob and nothing.
Started it back up but as soon as it gets to the spin cycle again it makes a long buzz and stops with water still in the tub.
if u can post the model # of the washer i can better get a picture of it and help you.
Tilt the washer back. Remove the belt and check how freely the pump pulley is moving. Post the results.

Removed the belt and it freely moved with little pressure. Thanks,
Unfortunately replaced the timer and still have the same problem. The machine will stop and then if you turn the knob a tiny turn ahead it will kick back in again. Other thoughts?
At which point it stops and where you should move it to restart?

It stops normally at the beginning of both the rinse and spin cycles. If it’s a small load on gentle it might make it till the last cycle before stopping. If you turn the knob just a snidget ahead of each cycle where its at just a little it will start back up and finish that cycle. The start of the washing machine and the wash cycle seem to work just fine.
