🌀 Washer draining slowly or not at all

⚠️ Common Causes

Drain pump filter clogged, drain hose kinked, drain pump impeller blocked, standpipe clogged, check valve failed

🔧 Parts to Check

• Drain pump filter
• Drain pump
• Drain hose
• Standpipe

🔧 Troubleshooting Steps

1. Clean drain pump filter — remove filter (bottom front panel on most washers), clean debris. Check impeller spins freely
   ✓ Expected: Filter clean, impeller free
2. Check drain hose for kinks — inspect entire run from washer to standpipe/drain
   ✓ Expected: No kinks or bends
3. Check drain pump — listen for pump running during drain. If silent, pump motor may be failed. Test: 15-40Ω
   ✓ Expected: 15-40Ω
4. Check standpipe — water should drain freely into standpipe. If backed up, standpipe may be clogged
   ✓ Expected: Free drainage
5. Check check valve (if installed) — one-way valve in drain line. If stuck closed, water can't drain
   ✓ Expected: Valve moves freely
