Why Is My Washer Not Draining?
A washer that will not drain is often a clogged filter, kinked hose, or failed pump. Do not keep running cycles while water sits in the tub.
Standing water in a washer can leak fast. Start with the filter and drain hose, check for a simple blockage, and call if the pump hums, the machine shows an error, or water is spreading.
What to check first
- Note when the problem started and what changed just before it
- Check filters, seals, vents, and power or water supply where it is safe to do so
- Do not run repeated cycles while water is leaking or a smell is present
When to call
If the simple checks do not fix it, or the problem involves gas, water damage, or live electrical parts, call (615) 583-1836. A technician can test the failed part rather than replacing parts by trial and error.
| Symptom | Common cause to check | Call a pro if |
|---|---|---|
| Stops working suddenly | Power, setting, filter, or hose | It trips a breaker or shows a repeated error |
| Works poorly over time | Filter, vent, seal, or scale buildup | Performance keeps falling after cleaning |
| Leaks or smells | Seal, hose, or drain path | Water is spreading or the smell is gas-like |
