Best Answer

If you suspect a problem because your washing machine will not finish a cycle; try unloading the machine even if everything is wet, run another small cycle without any clothes and set for low water, no soap. See if it goes through the entire cycle. If it does then the motor is probably the problem. If it does not than you may have just stripped out the "Washing Machine Coupler." (see picture link below) NOTE: The part is cheap and may be fixed by a handy person.

Do i need a tub for the washing machine to drain can't i just drain it into a drain pipe?

You can drain it directly into a drain pipe. Just make sure the the top of the drain pipe is even with the top of the washing machine. If not, the water from the washing machine will drain all of the time. There is no valve in the machine to stop the water from draining. The washing machine drains using a pump motor.
