How to drain the washing machine

The easiest way to free the unit from water is to drain it through a hose.

  • It is necessary to disconnect the hose from the rear wall of the machine, pull it out of the sewer pipe and lower it below the level of the drum.
  • Dip the end in a basin – the water will drain on its own.

The technique will be inoperative if the hose inside the machine body is folded into a special loop. It protects against unintentional drainage of water during washing.

The second way to drain the water from the washing machine is with a drain filter. It is available in almost all models. Its main purpose is to protect the drain pump from small objects that can provoke its breakdown. There is a drain filter on the front panel and is closed by a decorative hatch.

  • Remove the front decoration panel.
  • Tilt the machine forward and place a container under the drain filter hole.
  • Unscrew the filter cover and drain the water.

The third way is with the help of an emergency drain hose, they are available on some models, located next to the drain filter.

  • You need to remove the decorative panel.
  • Pull the tube and remove the plug.
  • Drain the water.

Since the hose has a small diameter, it may take some time for the water to drain.

The fourth way is to open the hatch of the car and scoop out the water. But it can only work if the door is not locked. This option is not very convenient, it will take a long time to scoop out the water, it is not very convenient to do this, and the liquid inside the car will still remain.

The fifth way is to use a drain pipe. This is an emergency option, which should only be used when nothing else can be done.

  • It is necessary to remove the back wall of the machine. The branch pipe is located under the drum.
  • Then you need to remove the clamp and disconnect the hose.
  • If the water is not poured, then you need to remove the blockage.

This method is quite difficult for a technically unprepared person, but it helps to completely free the machine drum from water.

Now that the machine is ready for inspection, you can call the wizard and eliminate the cause of the problem.
