Washer Not Draining?

If your washer is not draining, water may stay inside the drum after the cycle or the machine may stop before finishing. This usually points to a drain system issue, but the real cause can be a clogged filter, blocked hose, failed pump, lid lock problem, or control issue.

Why Your Washer Is Not Draining

A washer has to remove water before it can finish the cycle or start a strong spin. If the drain system is blocked or the pump fails, the washer may leave water in the drum, stop mid-cycle, or leave clothes soaking wet.

Clogged drain filter — lint, coins, small items, or debris can block water flow.
Blocked or kinked drain hose — water cannot leave the machine properly.
Failed drain pump — the washer may hum, stop, or fail to remove water.
Lid lock or door lock issue — some washers will not drain/spin if the lock is not confirmed.
Control board or sensor problem — the machine may not send the correct drain command.

Common Signs

Water stays in the drum after the cycle
Washer stops before final spin
Clothes come out soaking wet
Washer makes humming noise but does not drain
Error code appears during drain or spin

Quick Advice Before Calling

Check if the drain hose behind the washer is kinked or crushed.
Do not keep restarting the washer if it is full of water.
If your model has a drain/spin cycle, try it once and listen for pump noise.
Avoid opening lower filters unless you are ready for water to drain out.

If water remains inside, it is better to diagnose the problem before the pump, control, or floor area gets damaged.
