Common questions
Prerequisites for problems with draining water:
- The pump hums harder and the water takes longer to drain. The laundry is squeezed worse and the washing time becomes longer than usual.
- If the washing machine has become louder (it hums or rattles), the filter is clogged. It needs cleaning.
- If the water does not drain exactly when rinsing, it indicates a failure in the program. The control unit is defective. The same malfunction is also evidenced if the door of the washing machine does not open periodically.

How to drain a lg washing machine?
If the water could not be drained automatically, then let's try to do it forcibly.
Attention! Before draining the water, disconnect the washing machine from the mains, prepare basins and rags.
To drain the washing machine lg, if it is broken, do the following:
- Some washing machines know how to drain water in an emergency. Behind the panel in the front next to the filter, there is a tube with a lid. After unscrewing it, you need to slowly drain the water. If there is no such cap, do not despair. There are other ways. But do not close the decorative hatch yet. It will still be useful to us.
- If your washing machine stands on a catwalk, you can disconnect the drain hose from the sewer and lower it below the level of the machine (for example, into a toilet or basin). The water will flow by gravity. If not, your machine has a leak prevention valve in the hose. Move on to another method.
- There is a filter on the front bottom of the LG washing machine. It collects debris from washing. It is necessary to remove the panel (usually it is a square, the purpose of which, you have not thought about), slip under the filter tray and unscrew it slightly counterclockwise. To facilitate the task, you can tilt the machine forward to the basin or another tray.
Attention: be careful with the plug. The water pressure can knock it out and there will be a flood.
- In addition, you can move the machine and unscrew the back wall. Under the drum is a tube with a clamp. Remove it and disconnect the tube. This pipe could be clogged, so do not be surprised if the water does not flow immediately. Then clean it be prepared for water flow.
- If all of these ways don't work for you, for whatever reason, you can try tilting the machine backwards, then opening the door and scooping out water with a can, bucket or something else.
Important: Do not try to open the door if it is locked. You could break the automatic lock.
How to repair the machine after the water has drained out
- Cleaning the filter.
If you got rid of the water not the third way, it makes sense to look in the front hatch to the filter and clean it. There you can find the cause of the breakage and a bunch of things that fell off while washing.
- Spigot cleaning.
This is the operation we suggested as the fourth way. If you preferred not it, then remove the back cover. Unscrew the fasteners of the drain assembly. Removing the spigot. We remove the clamp. The water is already drained, so it may not come out very much. Then just push on the tube. There is thickening and interference, so there is a clog. Remove it and put everything back together.
- Check the impeller.
If you have checked the filter and spigot and no blockage is found, it is in the pump impeller. It is right behind the filter. Some object may have gotten into it and caused it to jam. Try twisting it. If it turned out without any problems and nothing fell out of it, it's fine.
- Drain Pump Repair
We remove the filter. Turn the machine on spin mode. Shine a light on the impeller and see if it spins. We did not find any foreign objects in it, let us remind you. If it does not spin, then the problem remains in the motor.
Buy a new pump and change it as follows:
- Remove the entire machine drain assembly;
- Disconnect the drain pump from this assembly;
- Disconnect all wires from it;
- Install the new pump and assemble in the reverse order.
We have understood the causes of water drain breakdowns, the reasons for this situation, methods of water drainage and repair. Now you shouldn't be intimidated if your domestic helper suddenly refuses to drain the water.
