Won't run The machine filled up with water and now won't run / won't drain. How do I drain it from this point? It makes a noise like it is running, but it won't engage to spin the tub.

IF it wont drain then it wont start. THis is a safety feature. You will have to remove and cleanout some parts: http://www.repairclinic.com/RepairHelp/How-To-Fix-A-Washing-Machine/41-10-706659-/Electrolux-Washer-won-t-drain-EIFLS55IIW0?r=%2fShop-For-Parts%2fa11b10d706659%2fModel-EIFLS55IIW0-Electrolux-Washing-Machine-Parts

What you hear is the drain pump, remove back panel to see the problem

I think the control board is at fault

Check to be sure the drain line is higher that the tub of the washer. You have a siphon going on the drain.

YOU HAVE YOUR DRAIN HOSE TO FARE DOWN THE DRAIN IT NEEDS TO FIT LOOSE AND ONLY HAVE ABOUT 6 INCH IN THE DRAIN

Washing machine won't drain

When your washing machine won't drain, it could be as simple as a kinked hose or as complicated as a faulty impeller on the pump. Overloading your washing machine can cause items to be swept into the space between the inner and outer tub, leading to clogs in the drain hose or pump. These clogs may be the reason for why your washing machine won't drain. Here are some steps to help you determine the problem and solution:

1. Pinched hose: Is the drain hose at the back of the washer been flattened or twisted in any area? A pinched hose could prevent the water from draining thoroughly. Gently straighten the hose, and make sure there is sufficient room between the back of the washing machine and the wall to prevent a repeat of the problem.

2. Clogged drain hose or pump: Does the drum spin normally, but the washing machine won't drain the water? Sometimes a piece of clothing, money, fabric or other debris gets into the water between the inner and outer tub. It may then make its way into a drain hose or even into the pump itself. The farther into the machinery a clog goes, the trickier it can be to remove. Call a repair professional for help.

3. Faulty timer: Does your machine fill with water and begin agitating, but the cycle never advances far enough to allow the water to drain? The timer that controls the cycles may be broken. Arrange for washing machine repair service.

4. Worn or loose belts: Are clothes still soaked at the end of a wash, even though the washing machine appears to go through the spin and drain cycles? The timer that controls the cycles may be broken. This is a job for the pros.

5. Faulty or jammed internal impeller on pump: When the spin cycle starts, do you hear a humming noise? The internal impeller that moves the water through the drain pump may be faulty or jammed. A grinding or grating sound is almost always an indication of a coin, button or other object colliding with the impeller. Have a washing machine repair expert determine if the impeller is jammed and can be cleared, or if the pump needs to be replaced.

6. Pump failure: Is your washing machine more than 7 years old? Your pump may simply have worn out. Even if it sounds as though it is running, the pump may not be working well enough to draw the water out of the machine. Replacement parts for pumps are generally unavailable. A new pump may be necessary.

either you have a bad drain hose or the drain pump has a bad seal behind the outer case

Hi,
Its sounds like you have a siphon going on, this happens when the drain hose it too low during fill and as the water enters the unit it exits through the drain hose. To stop this the drain hose needs to be higher than the tub itself, meaning: raise the drain hose behind the washer to about control panel area. This will or should stop the siphon effect and allow the water to remain in the tub. If the drain hose is low this siphon will start again.
I hope this helps

WASHER FILLS WITH WATER, THEN WON'T AGITATE. TURN KNOB TO SPIN AND IT DRAINS THEN SPINS. STILL WON'T AGITATE please show me a diagram

Sounds like your drain hose is too low. The drain must be higher than the tub so it won't run out before it gets full. If it is not to the cut off point before the water is as high as the drain the water will run out the drain and never get to the cut off point. It wont agitate untill the water level switch cuts off the water. Hope this will help.
