Recently had to change spin belt on washer because piece of clothing got caught above drum during spin cycle causing the drum not spin and belt to burst. After changing belt I only hear ticks from timer when water is supposed to be draining. I am thinking that either the switch or a relay? got burnt because of the drum not spinning or the water pump is dead. Any advise would be appreciated.
Regards
Just a followup note: The washer seems to fill with water correctly initially, agitates and spins, just does not seem to fill anymore water for rinse or drain water after initial wash
Check the belt tension. Possible a clog in the pump.

Pump seems okay as when I remove hose from side that goes to drain water spews out. If the drum is spinning and agitating would that not mean that the belt tension was okay? Is the motor supposed to spin a different direction when in the rinse/wash cycle vs. when the water is draining? Currently the motor only seems to spin in a counter clockwise direction which seems to be the correct direction for water drainage.
