What to do if my LG WM3997H*A drains slowly or not at all?

If your LG Washer is draining slowly or not at all, it might be due to several reasons. First, check if the drain hose is installed over 3 1/4 feet (1 m) beyond the end of the elbow bracket; if so, lower it to within 3 feet below the end of the elbow bracket. Also, inspect the drain hose to ensure it is not pinched or clogged. Place the drain hose on a smooth surface to prevent bending. If the drain hose is frozen, thaw it in warm water. Finally, check if the drain hose is clogged with foreign objects; if so, open the drain pump plug cap and remove the dirt.
