It is a common fault that the drain fails to work in most machines in a period of time and is the most problematic fault in a washing machine. 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. Now remove the drain hose clamps and remove the drain pump/valve, clean the drain pump/valve, use back flushing to clear off all dirt. Now test using power to see if this works and can be simulated. When refitting, the hose must be tightened properly. If the pump/valve does not work even with power then it must be replaced. If there is intermittent power to the drain valve/pump then the program controller unit is a suspect.

Finally the washer must be placed with a tilt- use a spirit level- so that all water will drain to the outlet port and thereby there is no residual water remaining.

Replacing the pump on a Bosch machine, please check this link for tips:

SOURCE: washing machine problem

at the back of the conditioner compartment there is a syphon. check the tube of the syphon is clear. put on rinse and at the point the conditioner should be taken, open the drawer and check that there is a jet of water into the conditioner area. if not, there are some holes in the roof of the top of the box. these may be blocked. clear with a hairpin or similiar

SOURCE: water is leaking out of the washing powder drawer

the spray holes in the soap manifold are partially blocked and spraying at an angle. try to reduce the water flow pressure at the feed tap and clean the water holes in the soap tray manifold (above the tray).

SOURCE: washing powder clogs up in drawer

Hi,

There should be an adjustable "barrier" in the drawer. One for liquid and one for powder. Open the drawer and look at it carefully, you may need a flashlight. See where you pour the powder in? Well... you know what they say about pictures and a thousand words...

Since I don't have your model number, yours will probably look different than this pic,, but it should be close enough. All you have to do is set the barrier to the "Powder" setting.

SOURCE: Conditioner remains in drawer after

i have done this recently. you need to remove the top of the washer and the disconnect all the items attached to the drawer at the top right of the washer. then remove the drawer assembly and flip down the upper section of it by releasing all the clips. then prize of with a screwdriver. it will then become obvious why it leaves the conditioner behind. it will have a black sort of mould blocking the waterways. clean this and replace all the items in order. be careful when you re-connect the large rubber drain tube undeneath make sure it is engaged fully. i got my son to hold it in position while i clamped it back in. hope this helps....adam howell swindon

LG washing machine. Fabric softener not being taken by dispenser drawer. It has been washed and the drain pump and filter also cleaned out. Problem remains so why is the conditioner not being taken?

Please remove power of the unit and this will reset the unit. Now select a program that is different from the earlier one and see if this works. Also check once again on the filter and check the dispenser drawer to be in place. Set the water level once again.Hope this helps.

When the wash cycle takes longer than the time stated on the display, and when the dishes are done, there is about three inches of dirty water in the bottom of the drawer . The repair technician replaced...

A couple of things to confirm first
1. is the second drawer working oK - i am assuming you have a double drawer model?

2. Are you not seeing the wash cycle time on the display? why does the technician want to replace the display (LCD)?

3. Apart from replacing the rotor did the technician try to clean the dishwasher base and pump filter sump?

Please post your comments to help diagnose the cause of dirty water remaining in the dishwasher.

Soap powder remains in the soap compartment

Depending on which compartment the powder is remaining in, it could be low water pressure causing the problem.
If it is taking some down, but not all the powder, then try putting the powder towards the front of the compartment.
If all else fails then I suggest you get one of these dispenser balls that you put straight in the drum with the washing.
Plz rate this solution.
thanks.
