My washer won't DRAIN!

Here are the most common reasons:

Although all brands are different in design, the basic concept is the same. Water comes in at the top, and goes out at the bottom. A pump forces the water to go in a particular direction. When a machine won't drain, there are several things to consider:

• Is the drain hose kinked?


• Does the lid switch click when closing?
(see video below)

• Something in the pump or hoses? Check the hose coming down from the tub for socks, rags, etc.


• Bad wigwag?


• Broken belt? Loose belt?


• Current to motor? (Use voltmeter to check)
