 What should I do if my washing machine won't drain?

There are a few things you can check and do to fix a washing machine that won't drain properly:

Check the drain hose and make sure it isn't kinked or clogged. If it is, make sure the hose is straight and there are no clogs.

Washing machines usually have a filter that needs to be cleaned regularly. Find the filter, which is usually at the bottom of the machine, and clean it.

Look at the pump: The pump could be clogged or broken. You can try to turn the pump's impeller by hand to see if it is broken or stuck.

If your washing machine is driven by a belt, check to see if the belt is broken or slipping.

Check the motor of the drain pump. If the motor of the drain pump isn't working right, it might need to be replaced.

Call a professional: If you've tried all of the steps above and your washing machine still won't drain, it's best to call a repair service.

Always unplug your washing machine before trying to fix it, and be careful when working with any electrical parts.
