Drain filter

The most common and convenient way to drain water is to unscrew the filter plug. This filter is equipped with almost all models of modern machines. It serves to protect the drain pump from clogging with small objects. Located on the front of the device. To drain the remaining water in the tank, you must open the door or remove the bottom panel of the housing with a flat tool, such as a screwdriver, tilt the washer back and begin to unscrew the filter plug. But before that, under the bottom you need to put the tank, where the water will flow. The filter plug should be unscrewed gradually, otherwise the fluid flow will be large and may fill the floor. After removing the water, the filter is cleaned and reinstalled if necessary.

Emergency drain hose

It is worth noting that it is not provided in all washing machines, so not everyone can thus drain the water. If the model is equipped with such a tube, it can also be used to flush the remaining water, which is much more convenient to drain through the filter. As a rule, the emergency hose is located in the place where the drain filter is located. To drain the water, you need to get the hose, send it to a tank prepared under water, and remove the cap. After all the water comes out, the plug is put back on and the hose is inserted into place.

Drain hose on the back of the machine

If the model of the machine allows you to remove the drain hose from the back case of the machine, you must pull it out of the siphon and lower it into the container prepared for draining. When the hose of the washing machine will be below the level of the tank, the water itself will flow from it. Thus, you can completely drain the water that did not come out in the process of washing.

Charging port

If there is a lot of water, the machine should be tilted back so that when the door is opened, it does not run out onto the floor. Then, using any container, you can draw out water. The disadvantage of this method is that it will not be possible to pour out all the water. The remaining water in any case will have to drain through the filter.

Drain pipe

This method of draining has to be resorted to when this same pipe becomes clogged. This can be testified by the fact that when opening the plug of the bottom filter of the washing machine, water does not run out. To identify and eliminate the cause of the malfunction it is necessary: ​​

• to unscrew and remove the back wall of the device;
• find the nozzle of the washing machine, it is under the drum;
• , before disconnecting, substitute a suitable empty tank for collecting water under it, it is best to additionally prepare and place rags under the container, since water will be poured a lot;
• remove the clamp connecting the pipe with the sediment and separate them;
• if the water does not go out, most likely in the nozzle blockage - which should be eliminated.

In the process of working with electrical appliances safety precautions must be followed.
