Possible Causes
Partially clogged drain pump, Obstructed drain hose or standpipe, Weak GE drain pump motor, Siphoning due to incorrect drain hose installation
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and prepare for water spillage.
- Clean pump filter: Access and remove the drain pump filter. Clean thoroughly and check for debris in the pump housing.
- Inspect drain hose routing: Ensure the drain hose rises to the recommended height before entering the standpipe. A hose that is too low can cause siphoning and drain errors.
- Check standpipe: Make sure the home's standpipe is not clogged and allows free flow of water.
- Evaluate pump: If the filter and hose are clear but draining is still slow, the pump may be weak. Replace the GE drain pump assembly.
