If the LG washing machine does not drain waste water, this most likely indicates the appearance of a “plug” somewhere along the discharge path. There is a high probability that a sock or some other small item of clothing is stuck in the pump pump or its coupling. This type of problem can easily be fixed on your own.
It is less likely that the problem is a broken pump. In this case, the LG washing machine also does not drain. However, you won’t be able to fix this problem yourself.
But, before contacting a service center, you should try to fix the problem yourself. Fortunately, LG washing machines are quite easy to disassemble, and all you need is a screwdriver and straight hands.
How to drain water if the washing machine won't drain
If the LG washing machine does not drain, you must stop all programs and do this work yourself. This can be easily done by removing the drain hose from the drain and lowering it into a basin located below the level of the LG washing machine. The water will flow out by gravity.
The second way to drain is to open the plinth panel on the front of the LG washing machine. There is a small hose inside for emergency drainage. You need to lower it into the container and pull out the plug. If there is no hose, you can drain the water by tilting the machine back, placing a basin and partially unscrewing the filter. It is not recommended to completely pull out the part, otherwise strong water pressure will flood the floor.
Another way to get rid of water in the tank is to turn the LG washing machine around, remove the back cover, find the drain pipe, loosen the clamps, disconnect it and direct it into a substitute container. If water does not flow out, this means that it is clogged, and the owner of the device immediately discovered the cause of the malfunction. You need to clean it, after which the drain system will work better, and the LG washing machine will be able to proceed to the spin stage.
