What do we expect from household appliances? The technique should work. The number of functions it performs and the design features are undoubtedly important, but reliability is paramount. And modern washing machines are no exception. We do not expect any special surprises from these “machines” and we hope that the selection process was the most troublesome event. Your new assistant is safely delivered to your home, all connections are completed, you sincerely enjoy the washing process for a week, or maybe six months. Until you suddenly find that the washing machine is not draining water. Breakdown Warranty case? Perhaps everything is much simpler. It is unlikely that you yourself will be able to repair or replace a failed pump, but most often the reason the washing machine does not drain water is because of the banal clogging of one of the elements of the drain system. And the master to whom you turn will first of all ask you about the presence of such a congestion. Therefore, if the washing machine does not drain the water, check the following:
1. There are no kinks or kinks in the drain hose that could interfere with the normal passage of water. Such a simple diagnosis is performed in seconds. It is also useful to check for obstructions inside the hose.
2. The drain pipes are also free of foreign objects. Before unscrewing anything, check for water in the machine. How to drain the remaining water inside, we will describe further.
2. The filter is not clogged. This check may take a little longer, since some models will require some effort, and considerable, to unscrew this filter. Where is he located? At the bottom of the machine, behind the removable front panel. Nearby is an emergency hose, which is thinner than a drain hose, through which it is necessary to drain the water available in the machine into a prudently set deep sump. Stock up with rags or sponges, as well as patience. When there is no more water left, unscrew the filter counterclockwise and remove it. Most likely, you will find there accumulated small debris and contaminants that need to be removed. It is advisable to perform this procedure regularly, without waiting for malfunctions. Take your time to close the lid. Right behind the filter are the pump blades, they also need to be freed from foreign bodies, to check their integrity, and also to check whether they rotate when the machine is running in the drain mode.
3. And finally, if the drain is carried out into the sewer, it is necessary to exclude the presence of blockage in it, in particular, in the sink siphon.
