1. Check that the water tap connected to the washing machine is open to full.

3. Check to see if the water hose mesh filter is not blocked. See the steps below showing you how to do this. You should clean the water hose mesh filter at least twice a year to prevent build up.

Warning! If a cycle with hot water temperature settings was run recently, the water in the washer may be very hot. Allow approximately one hour for the water to cool before performing this procedure to avoid possible injury.

1. Turn off the washing machine and check the level. See our guide for leveling the washing machine.

2. Inspect the drain hose.

Important! Incorrect drain hose installation is the most common reason for drain issues, and service is rarely required.

a. Route the drain hose properly. (Refer user manual for drain hose position)

b. Clean the debris filter clogged / blocked with lint’s or dirt / dust.

c. Straighten the drain hose all the way to the drain system. Also ensure that it's not clogged.

4. Turn the washing Machine back on and start a cycle- The washing machine should drain at the beginning of the test cycle. If it does not, contact customer care to request service.
