A washing machine does not drain: why?

What should I do if the washing machine does not drain? Before determining the reason why the washing machine stopped to drain water, it is necessary to understand the principle of the action of diverting water from the tank. The main device in this case is the pump, which is an engine with a fixed impeller. When the engine rotates, the water through the hose is discharged into the sewer system. Therefore, the failure of the pump can be called the first cause of violation of the drain. But in practice there are many other reasons that affect the operation of the washing machine. Consider the main ones.

Causes of an

1. washing machine malfunction It is likely that the owner does not have a reason for alarm. First of all, it is necessary to clarify whether the washing mode is set correctly. A number of models of washing machines are equipped with the option "mode without draining", which the user could accidentally press. Therefore, you need to make sure that this option has not been selected.

2. Carefully inspect the drain hose for the washing machine to identify folds and blockages that can significantly affect the operation of the washing machine. At the same time, for the purpose of prevention, it is recommended to clean the hose and check the siphon clogging( in case of water draining through it).
3. One answer, why a washing machine doesn’t drain water well or doesn’t drain it at all, can be filter contamination with various small objects. This can make it difficult, and sometimes completely stop the drain. Before starting the cleaning actions it is worth remembering that water may flow as a result of removing the filter. Special attention should be paid to filter clogging, as this may cause more serious damage to the machine. The procedure for cleaning the drain filter is provided in the instructions for use, so it must be done regularly.
4. One of the reasons for the breakdown of the machine can be things( socks, etc.) or items of clothing that are stuck in the nozzle and therefore water does not leave the washing machine.
5. This difficulty arises because of a pump malfunction, which can be easily recognized by the sound of the pump, which began to work quieter, which is not typical of normal operation. Water does not drain, but the washing machine is noisy or buzzing. Finally determine the reason why the breakdown occurred, can a professional. Physical deterioration of the pump, whose service life is designed for 3-5 years, can cause damage. Small parts leaking from the filter can block the pump impeller. Sometimes when analyzing pumping equipment, twisted hanks of thread, hair, etc. are detected. The alarm signal that should prompt the owner to urgently do machine maintenance or resort to the help of a specialist is unusual sounds that appear when draining, disruption to work.
6. On the advice of the masters, it is also worth checking the internal wiring of the machine.
7. In some cases, problems in the firmware, a faulty chip can cause damage to the control module( programmer).Therefore, it is necessary to repair electronics or replace it with a new one.

. Advice of

Specialists. In order for breakdowns not to occur, it makes sense to use the advice of experienced specialists who will help to “save” the machine from failure.

• It is necessary to disconnect the washing machine from the electrical outlet.
• Under the hatch for loading you need to install a low capacity. Take out the pump filter, and in case of observance, clean it.
• After the filter is removed, the water still does not drain, it’s necessary to look for a problem in the drain pipe, which is much more difficult to remove. Therefore, if the home master is unsure of his abilities, he does not need to do the repairs himself, it is better to turn to professionals. When a decision is made to cope with the arisen difficulties on its own, it is necessary to adhere to the following order: - unscrew the screws that secure the drain and remove it;- after loosening the clamp securing the nozzle to the "snail", remove it;- put the end of the nozzle into the drainage tank;- inspect the corrugated cut and remove debris;- return the equipment to normal condition.
• Check how the impeller of the pump, located behind the filter, turns.
• It may be necessary to replace the pump.

Monitoring the operating status of the pump

After the previous points of the recommendations have been implemented, it is important to constantly monitor the drain pump. It is necessary to connect the automatic machine to the power supply by selecting the “drain” option, and in the case of its absence, “spinning”.In this situation, the pump starts to rotate - it can be seen in the hole for the filter. Pay attention to how the impeller is spinning. If it does not rotate, then the pump needs to be replaced. The first steps to replace it coincide with the procedure for cleaning the pipe from clogging, which connects the tank to the pump, but without disconnecting the pipe from the "snail".The washing machine should be tilted on the back wall, the “snail” should be disconnected, and then the pump itself should be disconnected from the power supply system and from the “snail” itself. Most new generation washing machines are equipped with drain pumps of common types and models that are commercially available.

There is one more thing to note. There are cases when everything is in order, but the washing machine does not drain. The filter is removed, the branch pipe and drain hose are checked, there are no blockages, the pump installed on the “drain” program is rotating.

There are two reasons due to which the washing machine stopped to drain: the first was that the drain hose was clogged and it needed to be cleaned, the second - the pump worked its life and rotated only to “dry”.That is, it can work without water, and with water it is wedged and there are not enough power indicators. Therefore, such a pump must be replaced.

Prevention Tips

In order to avoid difficulties during the operation when the washing machine does not drain water, some preventive measures should be observed.

There are a number of recommendations that must be made to prevent breakdowns:

• Before you start washing, you should always empty your pockets of foreign objects: coins, pieces of paper, small parts, etc.its overload. In this case, a long drum operation without breakage is guaranteed.
• For washing, use detergents of adequate quality and in the required amount.
• In order to protect equipment from power surges and possible power failures, it is recommended to use a stabilizer during washing.
