If you have a problem with your washer not draining or spinning, always check the drain hose first.

Use a drain snake to remove the obstruction if it is in the drain line.
If the control board is sending signals to the drain pump continually, then the drain pump will constantly try to turn on. Any water that gets pumped into the washer will get pumped out immediately and if there is no water in the washer, the pump will operate and will soon overheat and burn out.
