Hi Meanolmaw,
The first place to check is the water pump and hoses. The water pump drains the water after each wash and rinse cycle, and it’s attached to the tub via hoses.
When a pump fails the most common sign is a water leak. Tilt the machine back and have a look underneath.
Look for signs of water leakage. These will include stains on the pump housing and a whitish stain or residue on the hoses.
Replacing the pump is a fairly easy process; however in some cases a partial disassembly of the machine is required.
If you are unsure of the steps involved, go to www.appliancerepair.net for troubleshooting and repair information. There you will find a complete how to guide to fix your washer.
Good Luck,

Well, ..., the water pump is generally the culprit. Or any of the fittings in and around he tub, They may have shaken loose during the spin cycle. Any chance it's till under warranty and you can call the repair guy to come out ant look at it?

See if you can locate the pump. It may be made of plastic, and should be located at the bottom of the machine under the tub, making it difficult to get to for a non-professional. I am not a professional, but my dad was for many years.
