How to Drain a Washing Machine
Is your washing machine backed up with water and won't drain? Dealing with this problem can be extremely frustrating, especially if you have a lot of laundry to do. The good news is that it is possible to drain your washing machine manually so you can troubleshoot the issue safely and effectively. As a leader in residential and commercial plumbing services for clients in California and Arizona, Candu Plumbing provides high-quality maintenance and repair services for laundry rooms as well. These tips and tricks can help you drain your washing machine successfully, so you can get back to your normal routine as soon as possible.
Supplies and tools you need on hand

Owners Manual
Screwdriver
Needle-nose Pliers
Plumbers Snake
Five Gallon Bucket or Large Container
Shallow Container for Front-Loading Machines
Towels
Here is how to drain a top-loading washing machine manually
Ensure the lid is closed on the machine before you begin working on it. Drains and spins only if the lid is locked down or down. Your draining issue may be caused by a defective lid switch. To test whether the machine drains properly, manually press the lid down. Continue with the next step if not. Firstly, you will need to shut off the power to the laundry room at the circuit breaker. Incomplete completion of this essential step could result in personal injury or property damage. A good idea would be to shut off the water supply to the area in case a mistake occurs. Place dry towels around the base of the washing machine to catch spills while you are working if you're confident it's safe to continue. After this, you will need to locate the drain hose at the back of the washing machine. Water hoses are usually color coded, so red represents hot water, blue represents cold water, and gray represents drain water. Remove the drain hose and allow the water to flow into a bucket. The water can be drained into a bathtub or sink by reconnecting the hose. Repeat this step until the washing machine is empty.
Techniques for Draining a Front-Loading Washing Machine
Frequently, front-load washing machines use a filter or hose at the bottom of the drainpipe. In the owner's manual, you should find information about where it is located and how to open the panel. The same safety precautions should be followed; turn off the electricity and water. If everything is okay, grab a shallow baking dish or another container and let the water run into it. After it is full, turn the filter knob to the closed position or replace the hose. Repeat the process until the washer is empty. Then, remove the contents of the washer from the nearby sink or bathtub.
