How to fix a washing machine that is filled with water, but wont wash?

okay i think i broke it by mistake. my sister put the clothes on a 15 min cycle, and i thought that was too long for the type of clothes so i put it on then 9 min cycle. so i think the machine got confused and got stuck. so the washing machine is filled with water. i tried to put it on spin cycle or rinse, but its not working? do i have to call a repairman or can i do it myself?How to fix a washing machine that is filled with water, but wont wash?
You may need to purchase, rent or borrow a Wet Dry Shop Vac to remove the water before it mildews. Then unplug it, plug it in again and restart the washer. If it doesn't work the balancer or the barrings are shot and YES you will need to have a repair man look at it unless it is really old and worth less than $100 you may just want to purchase another washer

Try starting it from the regular cycle and let it run it's course, it won't add anymore water than it needs but it may be stuck in a cycle. Turn it off, unplug it and then plug it back in before trying to run it again so it can reset itself.
Must be a newer style with electronic controls. Unplug it for 5 minutes and it may reset itself.

Well it does work on any cycle? It sounds like it is the timer or the main dial. Try to slowly turn the cycle dial while the dial is pushed in...see if it starts in any cycle if it does then it is the timer. Its pretty easy to replace but you do need basic tools.
see if it has a Drain/spin cycle. Mine does. Otherwise try to pull the machine out from the wall and see if the drain pipe is twisted etc. Otherwise you might have to bail the water out. You can't leave it in - it will sour
Yup....You kiled the washer
