Wife's GE top loader does everthing correctly until the spin cycle. It will spin and displace most of the water, but it will just continue this cycle until manually stopped and then there is still an inch or so of water in the bottom. It has an electric pump that seems to be functioning. Any ideas or suggestions?

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Sometimes in top loaders, socks, ladies panties or something else gets between the tub and the tub housing. They can block off the pump pickup. In the old models, other than removing the tub, the only way to get them out was to go fishing with a metal coat hanger with a hook on the end.
Rarer but it does happen.
There is a can looking thing in there that is actually a diaphragm sandwiched between two shallow metal cups. There is a piece of small tubing coming off the diaphragm, disconnect it and blow through it. The rubber tubing gets full of soap, makes the diaphragm for the water level sluggish. The pump stops pumping before all the water is out and/or the machine refuses to go into the next cycle.
