How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer. Be prepared for water spillage when opening the pump filter or hoses.
Step-by-step:
- Manual drain: If possible, lower the drain hose into a bucket to siphon out water before opening the pump.
- Clean pump filter: Access and clean the drain pump filter and housing thoroughly.
- Check hose: Inspect and flush the drain hose and standpipe connection.
- Test pump: If the pump does not run or only hums, test its resistance and replace if defective.
When to call a technician: If the pump receives power but does not move water, or if you cannot safely access the pump, contact a professional.
