Washing Machine Not Draining

Blocked filters or hoses, pump faults, or drain installation issues can prevent draining.

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.

Possible causes

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.

Safety note: Do not remove covers or attempt electrical, refrigerant or high-voltage repairs. Disconnect power only when safe, and contact a qualified technician if the issue persists.

When to request service

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.
