I washed a big comforter in my Kenmore front loader today along with some sheets and a few other items. When I went to check on it all the lights were flashing. I took out the comforter and left the other smaller items but found that even though the washer would spin it wasn't draining any of the water. I even tried taking out all of the clothes, but it still doesn't drain any of the water, only spins. Do I need a service tech to fix this problem?

- Well, .30 and one sock later we have drainage!!! Thank you, thank you and thank you!!! Happy 4th!
Hi, UNPLUG the washer and shut off the water. Remove the lower front panel and you can access the water pump. You will need a wet/dry vaccuum to **** up the water as you open the sump cap on the pump. Spmetimes you can lower the drain hose into a bucket and get water out. Once the water is removed, open the cap and see if the filter is plugged as well as the pump inlet/outlet ports. This is common. If there are no obstructions, check voltage to the pump. it should get 120V.
I hope this helps you. Please let me know if I can assist you further.
