Problem for Indesit W 123 Front Load Washer

Washing machine will not drain




By Leeds Rob on May 07, 2006

" "
What ever programme I put my washing through, the machine fills with soapy water and starts the cycle. However it will not drain the soapy water out in order to rinse the clothes. Instead the dial clicks round continously. If I manually select Drain or Spin it will attempt these actions, fail and the dial will then continue to click round. I've drained the machine by removing the front of the pump on the botttom right hand corner. I did find 10p piece lodged in the waste pipe. The pump appears to be whole and the impellor spins when the machine is on Spin Cycle but the the machine still wont drain. Can anyone help me please?

Clarification Request

Posted by seif_morbi on Jul 30, 2008

I have a KitchenAid washer. I loaded the machine and put the program on Normal cylce. The machine works for a few minutes and stops. I pressed the program knob to switch off and again pull it out to restart. Upon doing that the machine starts draining and stops after a while. This draining and stopping continues by itself. If I advance the programe manually, the agitation action does not take place nor does spin action take place. Could you pls suggest a solution? Thanks

-   Machine does not drain and the water leaks out the bottom onto the floor and soaks the carpet-   Guest

Apr 20, 2009

-   I am currently having the exact same problem but with a different washing machine. It will do the whole wash but when it gets to the end it just stops. I have tried turning it to the fast spin programme but it wont drain the water out. I have taken the drain pipe out thinking something was blocked but when I put it in a bowl on the floor the water all came out. But when I put it in the tap thing again it wont do it because it is raised off the floor. Now all me clothes are soaking wet and I cant get it to spin or drain, I would get it fixed but I am only on benefits and have 2 kids to support. Please can someone offer another alternative, I am desperate and have alot of washing to do now! -   she11ane

Draining problem is very common in Bosch washers. However, it is very easy to fix.

1)Remove the white circular plate, located on the bottom left. Push a small screwdriver or needle through it and simultaneously rotate the plate clockwise.
2)Open the drain valve. Rotate the circular black handle counterclockwise. Beware of residual water.
3)Clean it. Re-assemble in reverse order.

Bosch is an excellent washer. Don't be discouraged by this simple maintenance issue.

The drain line is probably clogged. Maybe that a sock or other piece of clothing get between the clothes tub and the outer tub that holds the water. In this case it may then get into the drain hose that's attached to the pump.Remove the hoses from the pump and pull the item out. In case it clean there, check the outer tub port- open the washer's main access panel and remove the large-diameter rubber hose that connects the pump to the bottom of the outer tub. Then,try to remove the clothing through the port.
Good luck !

If you have a front loading machine ( I have a GE.), they have a catch sleeve inside the drain line before the drain pump. Remove the lower front panel to access the pump and remove the large hose from the drum. Inside the hose is the sleeve, take out the sleeve and clean it.

wash machine will wash but will not drain water out to rinse

I replaced a tube that had a whole in it. The
GE washer was running fine until I replaced. I dont know what to do. Now it will not drain or spin. I hear clicks and a hum noise but nothing else.

Comment by dangmachine, posted on May 09, 2008

Ok.my Maytag has a similar problem. Will not drain or spin but this only happens in the normal cycle. If i put it to the spin on the other cycles such as gentle it will spin and drain just fine. This tells me it is not plugged and the motor and belt are fine. So what does that leave me? The timer/controller? I have tried to clean it with contact cleaner etc with no luck. Do these go out often? I have replaced every other part on this lousy machine in the 10 years i have owned it. No more Maytags for me.

My washing machine will not drain

Our Maytag Neptune front loading (older model). will not drain. When the wash cycle is complete the clothes are soaking wet and there is still water left in the bottom of the tub. This has happened on two other occasions. The other two times the problem resolved itself.

Noticed our Whirlpool washing machine cycles where becoming too long and very slow to drain. Would spin for ages before stopping and still clothes seemed soapy. Finally removed the filter from the front access point and found one of the kids socks in it. Once removed all was OK. Should have listened to the wife when she said there was a sock missing weeks before!!

The machine will fill and wash but when it is time to drain it makes a noise like the pupm is jammed and it wont drain

Comment by CHRISTY D, posted on Dec 08, 2007

My washing machine does the same thing. It will do the wash cycle but it won't do the rinse cycle. The dial will continue to turn but the water doesn't drain out. I thought the hose might be clogged. I removed the hose front the top (where it connects into the wall) and blew it in and then ran the rinse cycle. It sounded like it was trying to go through that cycle. It would start and then stop. What should I try next?
