If your washing machine won’t drain, it can leave you with standing water, soaked clothes, and a machine that won’t finish its cycle.
Common causes…
- A clogged drain hose or filter
- A blocked or kinked drain line
- A faulty drain pump
- A lid switch or sensor issue
- Debris stuck in the pump system
This is one of the most common washer problems and is often caused by buildup over time.
What you can do
- Check the drain hose for kinks or clogs
- Inspect and clean the filter (if accessible)
- Make sure the washer is level
- Listen for the pump during the drain cycle
If you don’t hear the pump running or water still won’t drain after basic checks, it likely needs professional repair.
