What should I do if the water doesn't drain properly after rinsing?
Dec 23, 2025
Hey there! As a supplier of Rinsing Washing Machines, I've heard a fair bit from customers about issues with water not draining properly after a rinse. It can be super frustrating, but don't worry, I'm here to walk you through some steps to fix this problem.
1. Check the Drainage Hose
The first thing you should do is take a look at the drainage hose. Sometimes, it can get kinked or blocked. If the hose is kinked, it restricts the flow of water, preventing it from draining out smoothly. You can easily fix this by straightening the hose. Make sure it's properly connected to both the machine and the drain outlet.
Another common issue with the drainage hose is blockage. Over time, lint, dirt, and small debris can accumulate inside the hose, causing a clog. You can try flushing the hose with a garden hose or use a long, thin object like a plumbing snake to clear the blockage. If the blockage is severe, you might need to replace the hose.
2. Look into the Drain Pump
The drain pump is responsible for pumping the water out of the machine. If it's malfunctioning, water won't drain properly. You can check if the drain pump is working by listening for any strange noises during the draining cycle. If you hear a humming sound but the water isn't draining, it could mean that the pump is clogged or damaged.
To access the drain pump, you'll usually need to remove the back panel of the washing machine. Once you've located the pump, check for any visible blockages. You can try cleaning the pump by removing any debris that might be stuck in it. If the pump is damaged, you'll likely need to replace it. You can find replacement parts for most Rinsing Washing Machines online or at a local appliance repair store.
3. Examine the Filter
Most Rinsing Washing Machines have a filter that catches lint, coins, and other small objects. If the filter is dirty or clogged, it can prevent water from draining. To clean the filter, first, make sure the machine is turned off and unplugged. Then, locate the filter, which is usually at the front of the machine near the bottom.
Open the filter cover and carefully remove any debris that you see. You can also rinse the filter under running water to get rid of any stubborn dirt. Once the filter is clean, put it back in place and close the cover. It's a good idea to clean the filter regularly to prevent future drainage problems.
4. Check for Overloading
Overloading the washing machine can also cause water drainage issues. When you put too many items in the machine, it can prevent the water from flowing freely through the clothes and out of the machine. Make sure you're following the manufacturer's guidelines for the maximum load capacity of your Rinsing Washing Machine.
If you think overloading might be the problem, try running a new rinse cycle with a smaller load. This should give the water more space to move around and drain properly.
5. Inspect the Machine Level
A washing machine that isn't level can also lead to drainage problems. If the machine is tilted, water might not be able to flow towards the drain pump effectively. You can use a spirit level to check if the machine is level. If it's not, adjust the feet of the machine until it's perfectly level.
