Does the tub have a drain stop? - Washing Machines

Good tips, but I haven't seen this answered yet. We just bought a house with a Maax tub. The drain is not a pop down, pop up deal. You push in a button in the overflow to raise the drain plug. But the vacuum of the drain pulls it down again. So you have to hold the plug in the entire time it takes to drain. I'm told something can be adjusted for this, but I'm not a plumber, and so far it's not obvious.

Hi David if the timer is not cycling the tub will not drain ,the washer will not complete cycles, second check the lock switch on the door. this can stop the timer and the tub from draining. when not cycling the timer is at fault , this could be two problems, 1st when everything stops check the door safety switch , 2nd listen for the timer, if it stops running. good luck ,geodaws

Something like a sock or small rag is stuck in Pump. That will have to be removed if possible or replace Pump.

Where does the water come out from? From under machine or where the drain hose hooks to the drain. If it is coming out the drain where the hose hooks the drain is most likely stopped up. If coming from underneath could be a hose or the pump leaking. I have seen something like a screw get caught and wear a hole in the tub. Check around the bottom of the tub if there is water leaking around the bottom of the tub could be the tub seal is bad. Hope this helps.

Ice buckets don't normally drain into the hot tub water. They should drain externally. The drain pipe will go through the cabinet and exit the bottom close to the floor.... or at least that's how all the ice buckets I've encountered drain.

The pump is clogged. The only way to fix this is to clamp off the hose to the tub and remove the hose from the pump and remove what ever clogged the pump. Expect to get a little wet.

The REGULAR CYCLE button turns the drain pump on or off. The REGULAR LED will turn
on when the pump is on. This feature can be used to drain the tub. You could get a bucket and lay the hose on the fllor. Gravity will drain it down.

Check these out:

• If your washer spins but does not pump the water out, the drain line is probably clogged. In many washers a small sock or other piece of clothing can get between the clothes tub and the outer tub that holds the water. If the clothing gets between the tubs, it may then get into the drain hose that is attached to the pump or even into the pump itself. It it's in the pump, you need to remove the hoses from the pump and pull the item out.

• To remove the item from 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. Using a needle-nose pliers, try to grab and remove the stuck item through the port.

• Check your washer for a frozen pulley. Remove the pump from the washer and try to rotate the pulley manually. If it doesn't turn freely, it's frozen, replace it.
• If the water that pumps out of the machine goes back after the spin cycle, your washer is siphoning the water from a laundry tub that has a slow drain back into the washer. The usual remedy for this is to improve the draining of the laundry tub.
• Also check for these problems:

1. If the drain hose reaches more than 4 inches into the laundry tub, cut the excess.
2. If your drain hose is lower than the washer's cabinet, install an air gap/siphon break assembly.

Model may vary, but this could be helpful for sure.
1. Unplug machine. Drain out maximum water by lowering the drain pipe into bucket or lower drain.
2. Remove the lower kick plate under the door. There will be a screws in the bottom corners of the panel holding it on.
3. Find the drain pump. It will be on the right-hand side and is
usually white in color. The drain hose from the bottom of the tub
will be connected to it.
4. Remove drain hose from standpipe and connect a wet/dry shop vac (if you have one) to the end of it.
5. Turn vacuum on and watch the drain hoses from the tub and from the pump. If the hoses collapse, you have a clog somewhere.
6. Remove the drain hose leading to the pump. Check the impeller area of the pump for debris. This is usually where coins, clothing labels and other items get caught.
7. Clean out the pump and drain hoses. Located in the hose coming down from the tub is the filter, check this out for cleaning.
8. When finished, reconnect any drain hoses that you previously removed making sure you get a good seal with the hose clamp BEFORE you fill the machine. If you notice a leak during fill, hit the "cancel" button to stop. Make sure you place the drain hose back in the standpipe too.

ck belt or replaced belt is designed to slip to a point if belt grabs too quickly the tub rpm come up to fast not giving tub time to drain down far enough to prvent climbing over the side also be sure drain hose is not plugged reducing water flow to drain
