Is this a top load washer ? If yes read on. This is most likely a lid switch problem. Open and close the lid slowly and listen for a faint clicking sound. If you hear it "clicking" it is most likely ok and I would be looking at the timer itself. If it is the timer it may or may not work (drain and spin) in a different cycle. Most likely a new lid switch will get it back working. Check out Repair Clinic.com for a video on replacing the switch. Good luck.
