Forced to Fix It: How to Get Your LG Washer Draining Again
If your LG washing machine isnt draining properly, it can be a major inconvenience. Fortunately, there are several ways to force your LG washer to drain completely.
First, you should check the drain hose for any clogs. If theres a clog in the hose, it could be preventing the water from draining correctly. To clear a clog, use a plumbers snake or an auger to clear the blockage.
If theres no clog in the drain hose, you can try to manually force the water out. Unplug the machine, then disconnect the drain hose from the back. Place a bucket or other large container underneath the hose, then open the hoses valve. This should force the water out of the machine and into the bucket.
If the above methods dont work, you can try resetting the washer. Unplug the machine, then press and hold the Start/Pause and the Power buttons for three seconds. This will reset the machine and may be enough to get the water draining properly.
If the machine still wont drain, it could indicate a problem with the drain pump. To check the pump, youll need to open up the back panel of the washer. Once the panel is open, you should be able to see the pump. If the pump is clogged, you can try to clean it out with a brush or a vacuum.
If the pump is still not working, you may need to replace it. This is a fairly straightforward process and can usually be completed in an hour or less.
Finally, if all else fails, you may need to call a repair technician. A technician can diagnose the issue and help determine the best course of action.
By following these steps, you should be able to force your LG washer to drain properly. If you have any questions or concerns, dont hesitate to contact an experienced repair technician. They can help ensure that your washer is running smoothly and draining properly.
