What you can check safely
Check for a visibly kinked drain hose and consult the model manual for the user-accessible filter. Do not force a locked door or reach into standing water.
Blocked filters or hoses, pump faults, or drain installation issues can prevent draining.

Blocked filters or hoses, pump faults, or drain installation issues can prevent draining. Other causes may be possible; a technician needs the exact brand, model and symptoms to narrow them down.
Request an inspection if the problem continues after the basic checks, repeats, shows an error code, trips power, leaks, smells burnt, or involves internal components.
This guide is general information, not a model-specific repair procedure. Error codes and user checks can differ across manufacturers and models; consult the official manual for your appliance.
