Probably need to take a look at the motor and check it with a meter. It sounds like all you're hearing is the timer advancing through the cycle. You won't get any washing or draining action if the motor doesn't run. Part number: AP3776337

Remove the access panels under the door. There will be tabs on the side of the motor and pump assembly which you will turn in. The entire assembly will lift out from the inside of the tub. Of course you need to remove power to unit, get rid of any water remaining in the tub, and be prepared to mop up water that spills when you remove the hoses.
