My washer during the 2 cycles to drain water out of the washer, overflows out of the drain. At first it was thought that our pipes were stopped up, but running a waterhose down the drain and it does not overflow. I've snaked it and liquid plummered it.. still overflows everytime I do laundry. Is the washer malfunctioning?
It is so common that the drain leaks in many ways and is the most problematic fault in a washing machine.This fault indicated can be due to failure of the water level sensors causing overflow but in all occasions it is important that your observation is most important and so is vital to the identification /rectification and solution. If you have noticed that water has leaked then as the drain hose pump/valve and fittings are located on the underside of the machine it is important that you look for possible leaks here. In some cases the drain hose would be clogged at the drain end to outlet of the house and so there will be back flushing resulting in overflow to the outside. Also the drain pump/valve can be clogged or the drain hose clamps can be loose on the grip which can all cause the leak to occurs. Removing and Cleaning the drain pump/valve, tightening of the hose is also very important. Also water can leak if there is gaps on the front door gaskets and must be checked but this will happen only during the cycle and not on the drain cycle end.
