How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before reaching into the tank or sump.
- Clean drain strainer: Remove and thoroughly clean the drain strainer and any scrap baskets to ensure water can reach the drain intake.
- Inspect sump area: Look for debris, labels, or broken glass around the drain intake. Remove obstructions with gloves.
- Check drain hose: Verify the drain hose is not kinked or blocked. Detach the hose from the building drain and flush it with water if necessary.
- Test drain function: Restore power and run a drain or cancel cycle. If the pump hums but does not move water, the impeller may be jammed or the pump failed.
- Replace pump/valve if needed: Persistent no-drain conditions after cleaning usually require replacement of the drain pump or drain valve assembly.
