Possible Causes

Clogged drain pump filter, Obstructed drain hose, Foreign object in drain pump impeller, Kinked or crushed drain hose behind unit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance. Expect water spillage when opening the pump filter.

  • Clean pump filter: Open the lower access panel and remove the drain filter. Clear all debris and rinse thoroughly.
  • Check impeller: Look into the pump housing and gently turn the impeller. Remove any objects and ensure it spins freely.
  • Inspect drain hose: Pull the unit forward and check the rear drain hose for kinks or crushing. Detach from the standpipe and flush with water to confirm it is clear.
  • Re-test: Reassemble and run a drain/spin cycle. If the pump hums but does not move water, the pump motor may be weak and require replacement.
