Symptom / Description

FAULT

Washing machine stops with water inside and will not drain.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

The drain pump filter is clogged, the drain hose is blocked or kinked, or the drain pump itself has failed.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Clean the drain pump filter located at the bottom front of the machine. Check the drain hose for any obstructions. Inspect the pump's impeller to ensure it can spin freely.

1. Pre-Intervention Electrical Safety Protocols
  • !Electrical Safety Protocol: Isolate 230V mains power before accessing the lower pump housing.
  • !Prepare a shallow basin and absorption towels: expect 3 to 10 liters of stagnant trapped water upon filter opening.
  • !Beware of sharp foreign objects (broken glass, needles, screws) trapped inside the impeller cavity.
3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks
  • Unscrew coin trap filter and clear all foreign debris (coins, hairpins, bra underwires).
  • Rotate pump impeller manually: synchronous magnetic rotors should snap cleanly in 90° intervals without jamming.
  • Check drain hose for kinks, blockages, or unpunched sink spigots; verify drain height is between 65cm and 100cm.
