Home > Washer Repair > Washer Won't Drain

The cycle ends, you open the washer, and your clothes are sitting in grey water. A washer that will not drain is one of the most common — and most fixable — laundry faults. Work through the causes in order and you will know whether you are looking at a five-minute filter clean or a pump replacement.

The Most Common Causes

Safe Checks You Can Do Yourself

When It Is Time to Call a Technician

If the filter and hose are clear and the washer still will not drain, the pump or its power supply has failed. We test the pump electrically, clear internal blockages, and replace the pump if needed — almost always in one visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I open the door with water inside?

Front-load doors stay locked with water present for safety. Drain via the pump filter hose first (the small tube next to the filter), then the lock will release.

Is a drain pump expensive to replace?

It is one of the more reasonable washer repairs, and pumps for Samsung, LG, Whirlpool and Maytag are standard van stock for us.

Why does my washer drain slowly and smell?

A partly blocked filter or hose plus Houston humidity grows mildew fast. A full drain-path clean and a hot empty cycle with cleaner usually cures both.

Do you give the price before starting the repair?

Always. The technician first diagnoses the problem, then gives you one flat quote. We only start the repair after you approve the price, and the quote does not change at the end.
