Machine will not drain - Washing Machines

Yes, the Samsung washing machine model WA12VP has a drain pump. The drain pump is responsible for pumping water out of the washing machine during the draining stage of the wash cycle.
It is possible that the issue you are experiencing is related to the drain valve rather than the drain pump. The drain valve is what opens to allow the water to flow out of the machine, and if it is not opening properly, the water will not drain.
To troubleshoot the issue, you can try manually opening the drain valve to see if water flows out of the machine. If it does not, then the issue is likely with the drain valve and it may need to be replaced.
If the drain valve is working properly, then you may need to check the wiring and control board for issues that may be preventing the drain pump from activating during the draining stage.

The error code E12 on a Super General washing machine indicates a drainage issue. This could be caused by a few different things:

1. Clogged drain hose: The drain hose that carries the water from the washing machine to the drain may be clogged. Check the drain hose to make sure that it is not blocked by debris.
2. Drain pump: The drain pump is responsible for pumping the water out of the washing machine. If the pump is clogged or damaged, it will not be able to pump the water out and the machine will display an E12 error.
3. Drain filter: The drain filter is located in the drain pump and is responsible for trapping debris that may clog the drain hose. Check the drain filter to make sure it's not clogged.
4. Control board: The control board manages the washing machine's functions and if it's faulty it can cause the drain pump to run continuously and display the E12 error.

It's recommended to first check the drain hose, drain pump, and drain filter to see if they are the cause of the issue. If these are all clear, the problem may be with the control board, which will require professional repair. Please be careful when checking the drain pump and filter, as the water may be hot if the machine is in the middle of a cycle.

Washing machines usually do not have drain plugs. Take the drain pipe and lie it on floor and let it drain into a flat container, this is the only way I know of draining a machine.

your drain hose is either stuck to far down in the drain pipe or your drain hose is sealed to the point it has no way air can enter the drain pipe which creates a siphining issue. your drain hose has to have a air gap so the siphing can not occur. the end of your drain hose should be no lower than 34 inches from the floor draped into the drain pipe with a way air can enter at that piont.

hot drain pump? suggests that the pump is not being lubricated properly...
