A not draining washer means loads of wet clothes and plenty of headache for the owner. When your Samsung washing machine has the same issue, you can turn on the spin cycle to see if the water will drain, but if that doesn’t help, you’re right back where you started – with a load of soaking laundry and a washer full of water. To find out what’s preventing your washer from draining, you’ll need to access the parts of your machine to check for damage or clogs. Then, you can clear out any clogs or replace the broken parts. Depress your lid switch with your hand to make sure it works. Your washing machine won’t drain if it thinks the lid is open. To check if the lid sensor is broken, find the piece on your lid that presses down when the lid closes. Then, press this switch down and listen for a click or check for a “lid closed” light on your washing machine, depending on your model. If your switch doesn’t seem to be working, you may have a broken lid switch that needs replacing. Unplug the washer to prevent electrocution before checking other parts. You need to drain the machine before you can work on it. First, remove any clothing that’s still in the washer drum. Then, use a plastic bucket or large pot to scoop the water out of the machine. Pour the water down the sink or bathtub to dispose of it. Your pump will be at the bottom of your washer on either the front or the back. Typically, you’ll see 2 small screws at the bottom of the front panel of your washer if it’s accessible in the front. If you don’t see these 2 screws, your machine is likely accessible from the back. Check the pump and surrounding hose for a clog. Carefully disconnect the hose from the pump to look for a clog. Look inside both the pump and the hose to search for clogs. If you don’t see a clog, insert your fingers to feel for one. The clog will likely be something like a small piece of clothing or a wad of lint. However, it could also be something small like a button or coin. Eliminate the risks of improper maintenance and delegate all routine to a professional assistant.
