It sounds like it is trying to get there but it doesn't spin and drain. THe model number is LSQ8243HQ0. IS this a belt problem? If so is there directions on how to replace the belt and order a belt? Your help is appreciated.

What do you mean when you say "it sounds like it is trying to get there"? After agitation stops, does the motor start running again but no drain? If motor does not start again after agitation stops and motor is silent, then you probably have a bad lid switch. Eric

It will not spin and ultimately drain the water. I need to figure out what is wrong so I can get the part and fix it.

You need to take the cabinet off and bypass the lid switch to troubleshoot this problem. Pull the pump off the back of the motor and set to spin. Does motor shaft rotate? Motor just humming? Can you rotate the motor shaft CW by hand? Eric
