washing machine fills but wont empty or spin?

Had similar problem with Zanussi Machine. The filter to pump was clogged with soap and material. There should be a flap at base of machine to front. Unscrew large plastic cap and withdraw. Wash under hot water and replace. Usually is pump filter. Timer/Programme cycle modules very rarely go wrong.
