Drain the water yourself

The first thing you need to do in case of failure - is to drain water from it.

You can do this in several ways:

  1. Try to drain the water through a special filter, which is usually located at the bottom of the front panel.Remove the access panel and remove the filter from the slot.You will need to slightly tilt the machine forward and lock it in a fixed position.Under the hole where the water is expelled, it is necessary to substitute a bowl or other container, the volume of which is enough to hold all the water.
  2. used to drain water hose or any handset. It will be necessary to push through a short drain pipe, the output of which is located downstream of the filter on the front panel of the machine or through the main drain hose to the machine, located at the rear of the washing machine, a low floor.

The first step is to figure out what exactly the cause of the fault.

Unplug the washing machine from the mains in order to avoid the risk of electric shock.

  1. Check the drain hose. Make sure that there are no kinks and creases.Perhaps you have recently done a permutation of the room, or purchased some new furniture, and in the process of installation accidentally pinched something drain hose.If the water from the hose does not flow or flows too slowly, which means that it formed inside the blockage that needs to be cleaned.Also cause of the fault may lie in the fact that the hose is at the wrong angle to the entrance to the sewers.
