Possible Causes

Partially blocked drain pump filter, Obstructed drain hose, Weak drain pump, Siphoning due to incorrect drain hose installation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power. Expect water spillage when opening the pump filter.

  • Clean pump filter: Open the lower access door, unscrew the pump filter, and remove debris.
  • Inspect drain hose routing: Ensure the hose rises to the recommended height before entering the standpipe. A hose that is too low can cause siphoning and poor drainage.
  • Check pump operation: Run a drain-only cycle and listen for the pump. If it hums but does not move water, the impeller may be jammed or the pump weak and in need of replacement.
