I'd suggest that the pump may be blocked or the drain hose kinked.
At the very least, it is one of the first places I would start and if you have a fairly good amount of wind in you, get the sink end of the discharge hose and blow with all your might down it - that may be sufficient to help dislodge something...
...make sure there is a small amount of water in both the spin can and the wash tub so you can hear if anything bubbles.... |

Can you either record and post the noise, or at least describe it for us? A loud HUM is likely to be a jammed pump. A really loud angry BUZZZ is more likely to be a stuck / damaged solenoid (if it has one) or something more serious. |
