Special water hose needed?

If you've ever had to deal with a flooded laundry room, you know how frustrating it can be to figure out how to drain water from an IFB top load washing machine. Fortunately, it's not as difficult as it may seem.

First, you'll need to locate the drain hose. This is usually located at the back of the machine, near the bottom. Once you've located the hose, you'll need to disconnect it from the machine. Then, you'll need to place the end of the hose in a bucket or sink.

Next, you'll need to turn off the power to the machine. This is important for safety reasons. Once the power is off, you can turn the water supply off. Then, you can turn the machine on and let it drain.

Finally, once the water has drained, you can turn the power back on and reconnect the drain hose. And that's it! You've successfully drained your IFB top load washing machine.

Now that you know how to drain water from an IFB top load washing machine, you can rest easy knowing that you'll never have to deal with a flooded laundry room again.

Unhook the water hoses at the wall and check to make sure the screens are free of debris. The pump is easy to access via the back panel--just two screws. There are blogs available that tell you how to check and replace the pump if necessary. Read all of them before you start. It is often the culprit. Good luck.

Check that the vent hose is hook up properly

The drain leaving the laundry room going to the main needs to be cleaned. The first thing you can try is what is called a product called Drain King . This is connected to a garden hose and inserted into a drain where the p-trap is removed from the wall When the garden hose is turned on full blast it will try pushing out the clog You should hear it pulsate first slowly then more quickly as the clog is washed away.he water flowing with Finally you should hear water flowing freely. it helps to use warm water if possible. If that won't work the drain will need to be snaked , Turn off the hose and remove the Drain King by loosening the hose connection Then follow that pipe downhill toward the main drain, and look for a clean-out plug. You can loosen the plug SLOWLY, have a bucket, mop, and rags ready and wear old clothes. Place the bucket under the clean-out plug if possible while slowly removing it Water will come out unless the clog is between the laundry sink and the clean-out. If water comes out when the clean-out plug is removed place your snake drain cleaning device into the clean-out and run until the clog is cleared. then run water through it for a while to wash away any residual residue. Put everything back together and test for leaks.

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. Error NF means No Fill. The washer has tried to fill but was unsuccessful. NF indicates No Flow. There is something that is interrupting the inbound flow of water to the washer, either hot or cold. Sometimes this happens when water service in the area is interrupted, creating an air pocket that causing the water valve not to sense water.

Try running the diagnostic test by—

• Press the delicates and heavy soil keys together for 3 seconds.
• You are in the service mode.
• Now, press wrinkle free key, cold water should start entering.
• Then, press the cotton sturdy and hot water should flow.
• To exit the test mode, either unplug the machine or press the delicate and heavy soil again for 3 seconds.

Please do rate the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks

If your washer won't drain, check these:
It spins, but doesn't pump If your washer spins but doesn't 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's attached to the pump--or even into the pump itself. If it's in the pump, you need to remove the hoses from the pump and pull the item out. To remove the sock 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. Then, using needle-nose pliers, try to grab and remove the clothing through the port. Sometimes you can't remove the stuck clothing from below. Then you have to remove the agitator, top of the outer drum shield, and inner clothes tub. This isn't easy to do--and you may need special tools--so you might be happier getting a qualified appliance repair technician to do the job. If the drain line isn't plugged, the problem may be with your pump. Even if the pump appears to be turning, the internal impeller may be broken. If so, you need to replace the pump.

It doesn't spin or pump If your washer doesn't spin or pump water out but the motor is running, your washer probably has a frozen pump pulley. If so, you need to replace the pump. To check the pulley, remove the pump from the washer and try to rotate the pulley manually. If it doesn't turn freely--if it's frozen or stiff--replace it.

It pumps, but the water returns If the water that pumps out of the machine goes back into the machine after the spin cycle, your washer may be 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. (Is something stuck in the drain?) Also, check for these problems: If the drain hose reaches more than about 4 inches into the laundry tub, cut off the excess. If your drain hose is lower than the washer's cabinet, install an air gap/siphon break assembly.

perhaps the water inlet valve is shut off. Follow the plumbing, turn it back on. It maybe located in the bottom 6" of the dishwasher, or close to it in an adjacent cabinet or wall. Mine is in the basement laundry room

warter seeping through valve remove power cord. them cut off water at wall remove 3 t20 screws from back of top panel slide panel toward rear to remove. remove hoses and electrical connections from valve remove 1 t15 srcew from back of rear panel to remove valve replace with part # 8181694 for about $50

depending on how far you need to extend the hose, you have to be careful not to extend it too far, or else it may not pump out properly or may even siphon the water out of you machine. I would suggest calling or going to your local appliance parts distibutor and asking them if there is a special hose for extending the drain hose. Make sure you take your model and serial number with you or have it handy if you call. You may be able to use a normal type of hose , but they ussually kink or collasps on the inside . Either way a quick check with the parts distibutor might save you alot of trouble.

you need to clean out you venting ...it is most likely clogged or filling up
