Clogging is the most common cause of washing machine not draining. Here's a simple way to get your washing machine drained back to normal.

Steps

1. 

   Refer to the troubleshooting manual. Most washing machines come with a troubleshooting guide. If the washer shows the error code, check the manual to see what the problem is. The most common error code for long draining is F9 E1, but your washing machine may be different. If the manual says that the washer drain pump needs to be replaced, call a technician or check online about how to replace it.

2. 

   
   
   Check the exhaust. Remove the drain hose from the back of the washing machine. Conducting a stream of medium to high pressure water through the drain hose (connecting the outside-yard hose is most effective). If the drain hose is clogged, the water flow will push the obstruction out.
   • To replace the drain hose for your washing machine, make sure that the drain hole on the machine to which the drain hose is installed is not higher than 2.4 meters from the floor, and that the outlet of the drain hose is no more than 11.4 centimeters deeper. the manhole, or the manhole, are not blocked with tape and the drain hose is not kinked or twisted. These factors can affect the drainage time.

3. 

   
   
   Run the washing / spin cycle on the machine. If the softener is normal, you are successful. If not, proceed to step 4.

4. 

   Clean the drain pump. First, you need to unplug the washing machine. Then find the location of the drain pump inside the machine. This unit is usually located in the back with a vertical drum washer and the front in a horizontal drum washer. You may need to remove the washer shield first. Once you find the drain pump, you will see a round cap with an oval handle in the middle (probably white plastic).

5. 

   
   
   Turn the handle anti-clockwise to remove the filter. You keep working hard because this cap is screwed up quite tightly. Have a bucket and a towel ready to catch as the water will flow. The inside of the drain pump may contain obstructions such as lint, coins, buttons, even socks or small clothing / clothing.

6. 

   Take everything out and wash the filter. Stick your finger in the hole on the right of the filter to make sure nothing is stuck in the pump fan and that the impeller rotates properly. Then attach the filter, turn the drain pump cover clockwise until tight and reinsert the removed washer shield.

7. 

   Run the washing / spin cycle again. The washing machine drains the water quickly. If not, then the drain pump needs to be replaced and you should call a mechanic or check on how to replace the washer drain pump online. advertisement

Advice

• Don't forget to put the bucket and towel around because when you remove the drain pump screen, all the water in the washing machine will flow out.
• If the laundry room is cramped, you may need to move the machine to a space like a yard or car basement for easier repair.
• For drainage, you should always check the drain hose. The hose can get kinked, especially when you use hot water. When it heats up, the pipe tends to soften and sometimes fold easily.

Warning

• You must unplug the power before you can repair any device!
• If you are unfamiliar with any of the steps in the repair process and are afraid it will damage your washing machine, stop and call a specialist. It is always cheaper to repair than to buy a new one.
