If your washer is not draining standing water, it’s usually caused by a blockage or failure in the drainage system. Water remaining in the drum after a cycle is a clear sign of a drainage issue.
Common Causes
- Blocked drain hose
- Clogged drain pump
- Filter buildup
- Drain system obstruction
How to Fix It
- Check and clear the drain hose
- Inspect the pump for debris
- Clean the filter
- Run a drain or spin cycle
