Wash Machine??

SJ · Jul 24, 2010

Wash machine isnt draining all the water in spin cycle.Cloths are still too wet to put in dryer and about 1/2 inch of water in bottom of tub.

Thanks

The first place I would look is the pump and drain hose for some blockage.

I ran it through spin cycle again and same results,ran spin a third time and worked perfect.Hmmmmmmmmmm????

We had to put a breather inlet in the drain hose. Was getting an air lock in there and acting the same as yours. We got it from an appliance dealer but they may be avail anywhere.

if this is first time it happened i'd bet load isnt balanced...new safety crapola slows spin speed waaaay down instead of machine rockin and makin noise to let ya know whats up.

Couple times I run into that, I replaced the pump. They get gunked up with lint and crud and you may get by for a while with pulling the hose and cleaning it. I think it may have a filter there. For a while if it pumps some, pull the dial and stop it at the end of the spin cycle and turn the dial around to start the spin cycle again and repeat till you can dry the clothes. If not pumping any water or very little, then order the pump.

Run it a couple times with no cloths in it but do put in soap and bleach. Some times they just need to be cleaned out and doing an empty run will do that and you may find it does not happen for a long time

See above.

If it wasn't out of balance then maybe the spin clutch is worn. As someone else pointed out, the gooberment has nearly weakened machines to the point of uselessness to protect the pinheads who would stick their arms in the tub while it is spinning.

Probably gunk in the drain hose/pump. If it happened from one was to the next, see if you are missing a dress sock (don't ask). Pull a couple hoses inside and see if you have a calcium buildup.

A quick google search lists a motor coupler and a water inlet valve among the most likely causes.
Curiously, the government was not even on the list.....sigh

Dave2 beat me to it. When ours had similar symptoms, I found a sock sucked into the pump inlet. Somehow, it jumped over the inner tub. I don't think ours would have started working again though.

YMMV,

Twas the motor drive coupler on ours when that happened. Tip it over and pull the motor off IIRC...

CLR once every 90 days

As others have said, a blocked pump is likely. I've seen it happen when a dog tag chain was sucked into the pump.

Check to see if your belt is tight.
