Had to come back and show love. The valve cap was causing the washer to drain improperly. I couldn't have done it without your tutorial. I appreciate you.

[@heather3tenny]

I was able to fix my washer by watching your video. Normally my husband does all the house fixing stuff, but he’s on 3rd so I did figured WTH worst that can happen is we need a new drain pump. So I got my tools my headlamp and went to work with your video. Found a Brad nail in the with the fan blades. Thank goodness it just got stuck there bc the blades weren’t broken or anything. Was able to get my husbands work clothes washed before he had to go to work, thank you very much for this wasn’t fallow cix 🥰

[@susankelly7999]

Thank you so very much!!! After the washer not draining, I couldn't find any warranty info and I really couldn't afford to hire someone to fix it. I am a 42yo women and fixed my own machine! The valve inside broke, and caused my obstruction. I removed it, and it's working great now! Thanks again and again!

[@DIYRepairsNow]

You’re welcome thanks for watching my video😊👍🏻👍🏻💯💯

[@ronhartley1155]

Gotta love it when it's a simple modification and you don't have to throw any money at it unnecessarily. KZbin handy repair videos can be my best friend.

[@chrismsummers]

Thank you, I searched for what seemed like two hours to find a video of a top loader and not the front loader version of this washer. There was what looks like some type of pad that my wife or daughters might use to clean off makeup stuck in the drain hose at the pump. Once I had your video to show me where things were and how to access them I had it fixed in ten minutes. Much appreciated.

[@user-qt4ox9gv3x]

Dude! This video just saved me from having to replace my washer! It's the middle of the night and this video gave me the confidence to take on this fix and it worked perfectly! It was even the same kind of coin! A freaking penny!

[@DIYRepairsNow]

Glad I could help! Thanks for Watching My Video!

[@graystone3313]

I fixed it in about 30 seconds by using my shop-vac to blow air into the drain tube (I first tried to use suction but that didn't help at all), that stupid flapper was not not allowing it to drain. I wouldn't have known about the stupid check valve issue without your video. Thanks a lot!

[@ronhartley1155]

You saved the day! I can only assume My issue was a check valve. I didn't see any debris or obstructions on either inlet or outlet at the pump. Check valve ripped off very easily. Put the hoses back together. Fired up rent spin or whatever the setting is that will drain. Pump fired up and started draining right away. Thank you so much for this helpful video.

[@ronhartley1155]

I used a standard floor jack to elevate the back corner. Then bailed out enough water to where it wouldn't continue draining after the hoses emptied out. Got a little water on the floor. But it cleaned up easily with a couple hand towels that I can now wash in my now functional washing machine.

[@shellywhite7185]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Warranty ended 2 months ago and washer stopped draining. There was a penny in my check valve. You're my Hero! Thanks again!!

Hey Thank you so much for sharing this video! You saved me big time! I got six kids,,, Within 45min I had it back together draining the water. One of my kids must have had a pocket of small finishing nails..lol stopped that drain pump completely!

[@t.and.mblissful9657]

I wasn't going to share my "finishing nail" problem in the drain impeller b/c I didn't think anyone would have believed me! Damn kids, who leaves nails in their pocket, and how the hell did that nail make its way all the way through to the drain pump. For the record, the unseen damage from the nail did cause the drain pump to completely burn-out 6 months later, so be prepared. 🥳

im sorry, how can a sock get there?? i dont get it

[@getupandgo77]

I dont know for sure, but I think it might have got in through the top of the washer there is a gap between the tub and drain basin and I therorize that was the entry point.@@ChronoZero

[@dawng1270]

Thank you! Our 2 year old machine was not draining and making a horrible sound when it began the drain cycle, and then did not drain. With your help my husband found 2 bobby pins in the pump. One had been there for a while, was rusting, and the other was new probably from most recent load which would not drain. Thank you.

[@DIYRepairsNow]

Great to hear! Thank you so much for the Support!

[@Tom-Travels]

Very Nice Training Video. If you have a link to your video on "Maytag Dryer Won't Start." I know enough to check the start button, and thermo fuse. They test good, but it still won't start. I don't see any obvious flaws with the knobs. Thank you so very much. I hauled this dryer away, for free, when I sold a lady a refurb dryer about 3 months ago. It's sitting in my garage bay just begging to be repaired and sold.

[@MrRob-up9db]

Thanks a lot, I checked the valve than checked hose and found my grandson's sock. The washer now drains the water.

Thanks for the great video. I ended up not being able to see the obstruction inside the pump motor from the inlet, so I popped off the top and found a nail with its head broken off was able to slip in and jam the blades. Too many DIY projects the last few weeks I guess.

I’m looking for some advice my machine won’t drain, I checked the pump for debris removed the check valve nothing, I have water coming from the black hose and the gray hose, I took the gray hose off the back of washer and put it down my emergency drain and water freely flowed out, took the pump off and turned on the washer to make sure it actually spun the blades they spin but still doesn’t pump the water I’m not sure how fast or hard they spin but I’d say it seems to be a normal speed not real slow or anything but not super fast either any suggestions what to check next?

I have the older version of this washer. It recently started throwing an OC code towards the end of the wash cycle. When i open the lid there is always water in the steamer part which there shouldnt be but theres never standing water in the tub. Would it even be worth doing this or is my issue possibly something else?

[@EverythingIwantismine34]

Which model do you have? I have the model number wa45n30….

[@haleemkhan5085]

Hi I have this washer checked the motor there’s nothing inside it and washing machine is still not draining. When put it on spin cycle only not rinse and spin it starts adding more water and stops always on number 6 do u have any ideas what it might be? Possible needing to replace the motor the washing machine is only 2 years old.

[@chriszanetti2619]

2 weeks having this brand new and i have a little water on the botton of the washer it spins the clothes good but is it normal to have a little water

[@NathanAdamsCars]

This also worked for me. There was a reusable makeup cloth wipe, about 4in in diameter. It clogged the drain and the props where eating it up. Fortunately the motor hasn’t burnt out yet. I went ahead and removed the check valve anyway.

[@chrismsummers]

Exactly the same thing was stuck in mine.

[@envieddesigns]

Great video, mine unfortunately nothing clogging the pump, looks like the motor itself gave out and is just humming. I ordered one with rush delivery. My motor/pump has a rubber part next to the motor on the right side of the machine where a part of the pump needs to be slid into. It looks like it stabilizes the motor and keeps it from shaking around. At least on my model Samsung.

How do you turn off the self cleaning/auto clean function?

[@renzostylee10]

My mom bought a Samsung washing machine on my advice, I told her that they are the best and she called me yesterday that the function no longer works, it stays in rinse and it doesn't get the water out, it makes a subtraction sound but the water stays in the drum, the worst thing is. Everything is that my mom has not even paid the first installment for the washing machine and it is already failing, very sad, very disappointing.

[@john.wick1]

Ran the first "test" wash through the machine. Everything went fine up until it was time for the rinse cycle to drain the water out of the tub. The wash cycle drained the water just fine; however, the rinse cycle did not drain at all... I am literally left with a machine full of water & the machine just shut off after it was finished. But without the rinse cycle water being drained. What did I do wrong?

Hi please help. The st upid washer is driving me insane with the sc code(drainage issue) i did all posdible reset. Lastly I removed back cover then the drainage hose from the back on the washer after opening the cover. the water came out like a fountain. I think the flapper which you display in this video was preventing the water from draining? Do you think I should remove the flopper completely or buy a nee one ?? The

[@DIYRepairsNow]

Sure, You can go ahead and remove it. If this does not work, Replace the Drain Pump.

[@AFouad-kc6vf]

Thank you so much for your help. I thought the rubber piece would solve the issue because once I removed it, all the water came out. But today the cycle stopped again and shows my nightmare SC code. I will take your advice and change the Drain pump hoping it will solve the issue or you suggest something else? like filter cleaning? Btw thank you so much for taking the time, posting the video and responding to out comments. @@DIYRepairsNow

[@mralmost6194]

Troubleshooting why mine(same model) won't fill up. When I start a wash cycle, the drain pump kicks on and starts to drain instead of filling. I've checked the screens in hose panel. I'm only getting water from the button on the right side of the detergent compartment. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@DIYRepairsNow]

If the Drain Pump Starts and Does Not Stop, this Means that it is still detecting water. Check The Drain Pump to make sure it is not clogged or Broken. If when you press start, It Starts to Drain but a couple of minutes later it starts to try to fill, You need to check your water valve.

[@mralmost6194]

I have water flow only if I push the water button in the tub on the right side of detergent tray. It will drain. The pump stays on for 10 seconds,very loud,then shuts off and will not start or change wash selection. No response from selector or buttons. I have to turn off then on to reset. No error codes.I will remove pump and check for blockage. Thanks
