How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and prepare for water spillage.
- Check external hose: Ensure the drain hose is not kinked or blocked at the standpipe or sink.
- Clean pump filter: Access the drain pump (front or rear). Open the filter cap slowly and remove debris such as coins, lint, or small garments.
- Inspect tub-to-pump hose: Remove and clear any obstructions inside the hose.
- Test pump: Run a drain cycle and listen for pump operation. If silent or just humming, the pump may be seized or failed.
- Replace drain pump: Install a new drain pump assembly if the existing pump is not moving water despite clear hoses.
