Washing Machine Not Draining

Why a Washing Machine Won't Drain

Water left standing in the drum after a cycle ends usually points to a clogged drain pump, a blocked or kinked drain hose, or a clogged coin trap or lint filter. A failed drain pump motor runs through the cycle without ever clearing the water, while a blockage further down the line can produce the same symptom with a completely different fix.

How San Marcos Appliance Repair Fixes It

A technician tests the drain pump, drain hose, and filter on-site to identify the blockage or failed part before recommending a repair. San Marcos Appliance Repair carries common drain pumps for major brands including Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Maytag, and Kenmore, which keeps most drainage repairs to a single visit. Every repair includes a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty, with same-day appointments available seven days a week across San Marcos and North San Diego County.

Formal certification plus hands-on training backs the 90-day parts-and-labor warranty on every washing machine not draining repair, backed by our licensed and insured guarantee.
