How to Drain a Washing Machine
Has your washing machine accumulated water and won't drain properly? A lot of laundry can be extremely frustrating, especially if you do not have the time to do it all. In addition to manually draining your washing machine to resolve the issue, there are other ways to make sure you are safely troubleshooting. As an expert in residential and commercial plumbing services, Candu Plumbing maintains and repairs laundry room plumbing for our clients in California and Arizona. Following are some tips for draining your washing machine successfully and getting back to your normal routine as soon as possible.
Having the right tools and supplies on hand
Gathering the supplies necessary for this process is the first step. Listed below are the items you will need:
Owners Manual
Screwdriver
Needle-nose Pliers
Plumbers Snake
Five Gallon Bucket or Large Container
Shallow Container for Front-Loading Machines
Towels
A Way to Drain a Top-Load Washing Machine Manually
If you are working on the machine, make sure the lid is closed before you begin. If the lid is down or locked in place, it will drain or spin. You may have a malfunctioning lid switch causing your draining problems. See if this causes the machine to drain properly by manually pressing the lid down. If not, then you should move on to the next step. You will first need to turn off the power to the laundry room at the circuit breaker. Inaccurate completion of this step can result in personal injury or property damage. As well as turning off the water supply to the area, it is a good idea to turn it off to prevent accidental flooding. In the event of spills during work, you can place dry towels around the base of the washer to catch them. There is a drain hose located on the back of the washing machine. In most cases, the hoses are color coded: red is for hot water, blue is for cold water, with gray markings for the drain hose. Removing the drain hose from the pipe and allowing the water to flow into a five-gallon bucket is critical. Put the water in a bathtub or sink. Continue until the washing machine is empty.
Techniques for Draining a Front-Loading Washing Machine
Washing machines with a front-loading system commonly have a drain pipeline filter or hose located on the front of the machine, toward the bottom. Where it is located and how to open it should be explained in the owner's manual. Make sure you turn off all electricity and water supply. Follow the same safety precautions as previously mentioned. As soon as you are sure the ground is safe to walk on, pick up the shallow baking dish or another suitable container and release the water into it. Reattach the hose or close the filter knob when it is full. Empty the washer until it is completely empty and refill it with fresh water.
