The reasons for the failure of the drain system in washing machines
There are frequent cases when the drain in the washing machine does not work during washing or the unit “freezes” before pressing the laundry. Despite the fact that the error is common, many do not know what could be the reason for it. In some cases, you can eliminate the problem yourself.

Electronics breakdown
One of the common reasons for the lack of a drain is a software failure. Most often this happens with models from the company Indesit. To get rid of the breakdown, you need:
- de-energize the device;
- wait some time;
- turn on the washing machine;
- run the necessary program again.
In the case where the actions performed did not have the desired effect,It is best to cancel a running program or run a rinse mode, followed by spinning the laundry and draining the water. If after that washer does not start to drainmost likely electronic control module.
To carry out its replacement at home is almost impossible, because you have to contact the experts.
Filter clogging
Why does not it work washing up in a washing machine? Often the reason for this may be the formation of a blockage in the filter. During work in the filter and the nozzles of the drain system accumulates various debris and sediment. Threads, lint, foreign objects and corrosion resulting from poor quality water - everything remains on the filter and creates an impassable barrier to water.
Garbage accumulations are the most common cause of problems with discharge. When this error occurs, a digital code will appear on the CMA dashboard. For example, for Samsung models it will be E01.
To eliminate the trouble will be thorough enough clean the filterlocated behind a small panel at the bottom of the case. It is worth noting that in the brands of cars lg, bosch and Samsung protective model is removed in different ways.
Nozzle clogging
Drain hoses - an important element of the entire system.They control the distribution of water and do not allow it to pour out of the tank of the machine during operation. The hose is directly connected to the sewer in such a way that the upper end exceeds the level of the drain tank. Improper installation of the hose can also cause failure to drain water. In this situation, the unit will issue the corresponding error code.
Be sure that no hose is bent and be in the normal position. Incorrect nozzle configuration can lead to leakage, water ingress into electronic components and subsequent closure.
Overlap of the pump impeller with a large object
Debris trapped on the impeller of the pump can stop the mechanism by stopping the rotation of the pump. Even a small object can disrupt the operation of this node, thereby preventing the discharge of water. Removing a foreign object is very simple: just remove the filter and with tweezers remove unwanted education. It is very important to remove the interference from the system in time to prevent its breakage.
Clogged siphon or sewer
Not always the cause of failure lies in the washing machine itself. For example, Bosch appliances are very sensitive to clogging in the sewer system. If too much rubbish, solid objects or sediment has accumulated in the immediate vicinity of the drain hose, the machine can cancel the drain program and freeze. Only having eliminated blockages in the sewage system, you can continue washing.
Pump malfunction
The machine cancels the drain and unpleasant program buzzing while working? This is a sure sign of pump malfunction. Like a filter, it can become clogged with various debris that interferes with its operation. To clean the pump will have to dismantle it and completely disassemble. Next you need clean the shaft from accumulated there yarn and villi.
If the pump has been in operation for more than three years, it is better to replace it with a new one.
Wire problems
If none of the above methods helped you reanimate the washing machine, then it may be worth checking the integrity of the wires and contacts. The electronic component of the machine, as a rule, is reliably isolated from water. But it happens that over time, as a result of improper installation or factory barracks, they are damaged or wear out.
Faults caused by faulty wires:
- incorrect work of electronics;
- lack of response to button presses;
- hang when switching programs;
- closure hazard;
- spontaneous shutdown.
After completing the repair and assembling the washing machine, you should check all the connections and electronic parts involved in cleaning or debugging. Carefully inspect each wire and hose connected to the pump. Spend test run in each wash mode.
If everything went well, de-energize the device and once again check all the parts for tightness and the presence of microcracks. Having noticed traces of rust or leakage, disassemble and reconnect the assembly. Clean all connections of scale and deposits, add sealant and gently connect with each other.
