Common Reasons a Washer Is Not Draining
-
Clogged Drain Hose — Lint, small debris, or detergent residue can block the hose and prevent water flow.
-
Faulty Drain Pump — A damaged or worn-out pump stops pushing water out of the drum and may make grinding noises.
-
Blocked Pump Filter — Objects like coins, lint, and debris clog the filter, restricting water from draining properly.
-
Lid Switch Problems — If the lid switch is faulty, the control system won't detect that the lid is closed and stops the cycle.
-
Control Board Malfunction — Electronic control issues can interrupt the drain pump signal, causing drainage failure.
