My washing machine is not draining. The timer runs, but at the points where it is supposed to drain, nothing happens. It is a "Sears Kenmore Heavy Duty" and is probably around 25 years old. Any ideas? |

I would guess that since it is a home machine that it has a pump and not just a drain. My suggestion would be to look at the pump and start from there. If it were a Huebsch or Speed Queen or even a Unimac I could help you a lot since that is what I do for a living. But since it isn't I can just speak in generalities. |
| I had the same problem with mine a few years ago, and someone here helped me out. (DrFridge IIRC) On mine there was a pump and a solenoid. All that was required was to clean out the lint. Have a couple buckets handy when you split the pump case though. You will have a tsunami on your hands. Or you could siphon it before hand and avoid all unnecessary drama. |
