5.7.5 Washer Won't drain or some abnormal noise
The most common part(s) or condition(s) which contribute to the symptom
Washer won‘t drain are listed below. Check or test each item.
If you are still unable to solve the problem you may need to do additional
research and troubleshooting.
Causes
Explanation
Clogged drain valve or
Hose
It's common for small socks or other small clothing items to
get into the water drain system and clog the hose leading to
drain valve or the drain valve itself. Remove the hoses from
the drain valve in order to remove the article of clothing
before replacing the drain valve.
Door or Lid Latch
Assembly
The lid switch assembly might be defective. This is a very
common problem. The lid switch assembly can fail either
mechanically or electrically. Test any electrical switches with
an Ohm meter for continuity. The switches should have
continuity according to their design.
Retractor
Retractor is consisted of motor and traction system, it can
drive the drain valve to drain water, and at the same time
control the clutch to achieve the conversion from washing
to spinning operation. If the washer won't drain, should
check the retractor.
Water level sensor or
control switch
If the water level control switch is defective, or more
commonly, if the small air pipe attached to the air bell
comes off, there will no longer be pressure in the hose
pushing on the air tight diaphragm in the water level
control switch. The switch will not be able to close the
electrical contacts to the drain valve.
CHECK THE AIR PIPE
CHECK THE WATER LEVERL SENSOR
CHECK THE PCB and the inner wire between PCB and the
sensor
