Kenmore Washer Is Not Draining

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1229″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Picture this, you have a long day, you throw all your laundry into the washer and realize it’s full of water. Your Kenmore washer doesn’t want to drain. Every woman had a day when she felt like Cinderella. First, get the kids and send them to school, and the husband to work (the point is not to mix it up), prepare dinner, tidy up, and don’t forget to get the laundry down before the guests’ coming. And here it is, that feeling when you realize that Cinderella has turned into a superwoman… 10 minutes before the wash cycle completes then you notice something is terribly wrong, you can see that your Kenmore washer is not draining. It’s an awful situation. You undoubtedly didn’t count on performing any heroic actions today.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][asvc_moving_image image=”1233″ animation_style=”horizontal” align=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Check the selected mode

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInRight”]In almost all washers, there is a washing mode without a spin. Typically, this mode is used for delicate fabrics or wool, because a gentle rinse without spinning doesn’t deform the things (they don’t stretch or wrinkle). If such mode has been selected, it is necessary to press the “Start / Stop / Cancel” button and start the water drain program.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1275″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Check the power

Unplug the washer from the outlet or turn off power at the fuse box. Wait for 2-5 minutes and plug the washing machine in and turn it on.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Сheck the drain hose

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInRightBig”]Perform a visual inspection. If it’s bent or kinked, it can block the water flow. Or may other objects press on the drain hose. If it’s like that, just straightening the hose.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1282″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Check the filter for clogs

While washing, the clothes can leave threads and nap in the machine. It’s also possible you forgot to take the change out of your pockets. During washing, the machine drains the used water several times through the filter and into the sewer. It protects the sewer from clogging, delaying these small objects that get into the machine with the clothes.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_separator border_width=”5″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1263″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]

Drain Pump Problem

[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1293″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]The drain cycle begins when the control board sends voltage to the drain pump, which pumps the water out the drain hose to a washtub or drainpipe. A small object or article of clothing can sometimes create an obstruction in the pump, or a damaged impeller could cause the pump to fail mechanically. If the pump does not appear to have any damaged components and is free of obstructions, the pump may have failed electrically. You can use a multimeter to determine if the drain pump motor has continuity. If the motor tests negative for continuity, then the pump will need to be replaced.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]

Drain Hose Problem

[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1294″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]The drain hose may be twisted, pinched or obstructed by a small object. If you are unable to straighten the hose or clear an obstruction, you will need to replace the hose. Remove it carefully and low into a sink or bath. If the water drains when it’s turned on, it means that the blockage is in the pipes; if not, the clog may be inside the hose. You can simply blow into the hose, the sound will make it clear whether the air reaches the tank or not. If there is a blockage inside, the easiest solution will be to replace the drain hose.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]

Pressure Switch Problem

[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1295″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]The water-fill level in most machines is controlled by using a pressure switch. This device usually consists of a chamber attached to the bottom of the drum and a hose connecting this to the switch. As water fills inside the machine, air is pushed up the pipe by the filling water. Depending on the cycle selected or the wash load on some machines, the pressure switch would let the control board know it reached the appropriate water level and vice versa would let the control board know the washer is empty. The older mechanical style switch can be tested by blowing into the tube and listening to the click inside. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_message message_box_color=”warning” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-exclamation-triangle” css_animation=”appear”]There is a danger of electric shock. This is relevant to washing machines because water is an excellent conductor of electricity. Therefore, it is extremely important when trying to repair the washer to unplug it.[/vc_message][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We know that a washer needs to be in working order fairly quickly.
