If your washing machine won’t drain, there could be several likely causes. The wisest move is to get a professional to diagnose and resolve the issue quickly, but you can also take a look yourself first to see if it’s a really quick issue to solve.
In this article, we’ll take you through a few reasons why your machine might be struggling to drain, and what you can do about it.
It’s pretty apparent when a washing machine is not draining because the bottom will be full of water and sometimes the door may not open. This can result in that wash load not being cleaned properly as it is effectively swimming in dirty water. It’s a sure sign that your washing machine needs attention before it can be used again.
If you don’t have an emergency hose, remove the main drainage hose (located at the back of the machine if not internal) and place it in a bucket, and simply allow gravity to do the work. If the drainage hose is internal, this may be a job for a professional instead, who will not only drain the machine, but can also give an accurate diagnosis and swift resolution to your washing machine woes.
Pull out your washing machine and take a look at the drainage pipe at the back. If it looks kinked, then straightening it out could resolve the issue
