The timer will signal to the machine when to move to the next phase of the cycle, while the control board will signify what program to use.

Once it has emptied and finished the cycle, you should then be able to open the door. To prevent drainage problems, it is important that you keep the washing machine clean. The filters, drains, and pump can all collect debris over time, and this can prevent the washing machine from draining effectively.
