How to drain a washing machine?
Follow these step by step guide:
- Check whether machine hoses are kinked or blocked
- Clean and unblock the filter
The washing machine hoses are kinked or blocked.
Check that there are no kinks in the cold water fill hose and the waste water hose by pulling the appliance out slightly and untwisting any visable kinks or bends in these hoses. Kinked or blocked hoses will prevent washing machines to drain the water out. For more information on how to correctly install these two hoses follow the link below.
Also ensure that the waste water hose is not blocked by removing this hose from the siphon connection, putting the end of the hose in a bucket and selecting the drain program. Otherwise the washing machine won't pump out the water. If there is a blockage, water will not fill, or struggle to fill, the bucket. If a blockage is found, clean the waste water hose and siphon.
The filter is blocked.
Clean the filter and remove any foreign objects which could be blocking the impeller. A blocked pump might be the reason why the washing machine is not draining. For more information on how to clean your washing machine filter follow the link.
