/diy/ - Do It Yourself

two months ago my washer stopped draining water. The lid switch was broken and I recently replaced it but it still wont drain. I got it to cycle through once, drain and all, but it refuses to do it again and there's a smoky smell coming from the new lid switch. Actually I'm not sure if the smell is coming from the switch or the bottom of the machine where it's been leaking for the better part of a year. I obviously need new parts for the drain system but I don't get why it won't drain with the new part in. Is the part faulty?
