Possible Causes
Partially blocked Hisense drain pump filter, Obstructed drain hose, Weak drain pump, Incorrect drain hose height causing backflow
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and prepare for water spillage when opening the pump filter.
- Clean pump filter: Open the lower front access panel and remove the pump filter. Clear all debris and check the impeller for free movement.
- Inspect drain hose routing: Ensure the hose is installed at the correct height and not submerged in standing water, which can slow draining.
- Check standpipe: Verify the household standpipe or sink drain is not blocked.
- Test pump performance: Run a drain-only program and observe the water flow. If weak or intermittent, the Hisense drain pump may be failing and should be replaced.
