My kenmore 48116/48112 front loader will not drain. How do I get to the ''hose'' to see if it is clogged? It is stacked with my dryer, so I'm hoping I can even get to it.

cloged pump or drain hose ,remove front acess panel check pump to tub hose for obstruction in hose and pump

Usually find coins stacked in the hose before the pump and drainage hose.

this could be a problem with the lid switch is the unit spinning?.
take a wet dry shop vac and attach it to the end of the drain hose to remove the water.
then remove the front panel in order to check the drain pump and make sure there is nothing clogging the pump

remove the front panel and check the water pump

if there is till water in there the drain pump may be clogged.you need to use a wet dry shop vac and attch it to the end of the drain hose then drain out the water. remove the two screws on the bottom of the washe pull down the front panel. then remove the two hoses on the pump and look for the blockage.i hope this helps with your problem.good luck let me knwo how it goes

Fixed it thanks, found the filter, it was clogged.

On that model it's easy to unscrew the front and take it off. You can then see the hoses etc to see where the water is coming from. I had to replace the drain hose on mine.

I have kenmore model# 417.98702890 how hard is it to replace water pump

Check out your exit hose spigot, it may be clogged. This is if your filter is all clean(ref manual). There should be air for passage in the standpipe behind. Your hose should not fit airtight into the standpipe and neither too deep into it. Some connect to sink, fine. Snaking out your standpipe would be good too.

If the above fails, check to see if your pump is blocked. Pl rate if helped.

Height of exit hose (behind machine) should be approx 3 feet from ground level when you are re-fitting.
