At the end of the wash/rinse programmes the drum would turn slowly while the pump removes the majority of the water and when the tub is virtually empty the drum will begin building speed over time until the spin speed is reached. The pump remains running until the end of the spin. That is how things usually go.

An automatic washer doesn't drain - it is pumped out!

Your description suggests either there is something wrong with the pump or programmer.

Testimonial: "Thanks for replying Vernon, I will recheck it. Actually it starts the spin cycle normal then after 5 seconds a click sound is heard and rpm is reduced. Checks to the hose finds no water exiting. I then throw the hose to the floor and water comes out. As the tub gets lighter it starts spinning faster. I replace the hose in normal draining position water keeps coming out., ( white soapy) the end... I changed the clutch assembly. Coupling OK. The hose and pump are OK.."

    I have noticed that the pump sleeve that fits unto the motor shaft moves from side to side. So I am going to purchase a new pump.

    Don't overlook the possibility there is something loose in the tub blocking the drain in the high flow when the pump is running but falls away when the flow reduces.

    Strip the machine down. Changed the pump. Same. Only pumps for the first 3 seconds then tub starts to rotate. Next I will check the pressure switch../hose properly. Did a by pass on the lid switch until replacement arrives Learning during knockdown ..

Hoover 750L top loading washing machine won't drain water. Broke down this morning (Saturday). Can't get anyone to come out until Monday. Live in Kardinya, WA.

lower the drain hose past the tub level and the water will drain out
if inside use a bucket to collect the water
when empty switch off the taps and use the spin cycle to dry the clothes
tip

The washing machine is draining but the water is coming back inside?

Check out this possibilities for water not draining in the washing machine: This problem relates to the hose connected to drain pump. The drain hose should not be in laundry tub more then 4 to 5 inches. Measure it and if it’s more then 4 to 5 inch then cut the excess hose in the tub. If your drain hose is lower than the washer's cabinet, install an air gap/siphon break assembly. But if the drain pump hoses are ok checked then this problem relates to slow drain of water from laundry tub. You can solve this issue by cleaning the drain pump blockages and dirt build up this will make the flow of water proper in the draining of the laundry tub.
This will help.thanks.

I have a Whirlpool Ultimate Care II washing machine (model LSN1000JQ0). The washer will fill with water and begin to agitate. Shortly after it will stop and will not drain. I've cleaned all hoses

see the next steps and use the common sense: God bless you
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.

Washes clothes perfect but will not discharge water out of machine fully on final spin.

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?)

If you can post your model number I can show you how to access the pump and drain line inside the machine.

My washer has water in the bottom of it. I pressed drain and spin it did then it filled back up with water.

Whirlpool Ultimate care II will not spin or drain

The primary promlem is draining. Make sure the drain hose is not kinked or blocked .Water flowing out when the hose is lowered ( the hose needs to be lower than the water level, inside the machine as well) would show if it's blocked. Another cause is a jammed or failed pump. Good luck....Nomess

Washer spins but will not drain water

Sounds like you have something stuck in the pump, or you have a bad pump. If you take the drain hose and lower it to the ground, it should let the water out of the machine (use a bucket to catch the water, or if there is a floor drain available nearby, that will work too). If the water pours out freely, you most likely have a bad pump, if the water is slow to drain, or not draining at all, you have something stuck in the pump. If the water will not drain thru the hose, use a shop vac to get it out of the tub because when you pull the pump and hoses out, it will be a big mess. Hope this helps, if you need further assistance, let me know.

Won't start filling up water.only drain program works.

hi friend,
If your washer won't drain, check these:

It spins, but doesn't pump
It doesn't spin or pump
It pumps, but the water returns
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

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.
