If your washing machine isn’t draining properly, try these troubleshooting steps:
- Inspect the Drain Hose:
Check that the drain hose isn’t kinked, bent, or clogged. Any obstruction can prevent water from flowing out. - Flush the Drain Hose:
Detach the hose and flush it with water to clear any blockages inside. - Ensure the Washer Is Level:
An unlevel washing machine can cause drainage issues. Use a level tool and adjust the washer’s feet as needed to keep it balanced. - Check the Drain Hose Position:
Make sure the drain hose isn’t inserted too far into the standpipe, as this can cause siphoning and prevent proper draining.
If these steps don’t resolve the issue, it’s a good idea to contact a professional technician for further diagnosis and repair. (the words ‘contact a professional technician’ links to the Service page)
