Need help! Diapers piling up, wife's on my case.

Kenmore Elite washer (sorry don't have model #, but it's the Catalyst top loader).
Parts #: 3954052

Did a diagnostics test (Neutral Drain/Spin) all shows t4 but instead of draining,
The water re-circulates through. Same with all speeds.

Checked the gearcase and tried to clean things out, but did not see any debris.

Not mechanically/electronically inclined so I have not tested the voltage measurements.

If there's any way to determine what the problem is with just this info? If so would be greatly appreciated.

If you can inform part, where to buy, and how to install, you would be a hero (and my wife's savior).

Do not know if relevant; no particular noises (beeps, clicking, humming, etc), smells (burnt), or LEDS blinking.

All it does is re-circulate the water through when it should be draining.

Thanks for looking!

Kemore Elite Dryer not heating. Replaced Heating Element and 2 Thermal Cutoffs and still does not heat. What is next step? Incidentally purchased parts from Cheap Parts at about half price from Sears price. Exactly same parts.
