Washer Not Draining But Spins? Causes and Fixes

If your washer spins but does not drain, the issue is usually related to the drain pump or a blockage in the drainage system. The spinning function can still work even if water is not being removed properly.


Common Causes

  • Faulty drain pump
  • Clogged drain hose
  • Blocked filter
  • Partial drainage failure

How to Fix It

  • Inspect the drain pump for debris or damage
  • Check the drain hose for clogs
  • Clean the washer filter
  • Run a drain cycle to test
