Summary
The essentials in a minute
In detail
Symptoms: how to tell it's a drain issue
Water remains after wash or rinse. The machine hums but the level won't drop. The program hangs on «drain» or shows an error.
Slow draining also points to a partial clog. Water may pool in the detergent drawer or leak near the hose.
Cause 1: clogged drain pump
Coins, socks, bra wires and lint block the impeller — water won't pump out.
Our technician opens the bottom panel, cleans or replaces the pump. Pump replacement — from ~150,000 UZS with labor.
Prevention: empty pockets, use mesh bags, clean the filter every 2–3 months.
Cause 2: filter and drain hose blockage
Most front-loaders have a drain filter at the bottom — unscrew and rinse it.
The drain hose may be kinked behind the unit or blocked at the standpipe. Check it isn't crushed by furniture.
If draining resumes after filter cleaning — great. If not, the issue is deeper: pump, pressure switch or control board.
Cause 3: failed pump or control module
A pump can burn out after running blocked for too long — pump replacement needed. Less often: wiring fault or board failure.
The pressure switch may misread water level and block draining. We test on site with a multimeter.
Module or pressure switch repair — from 150,000–300,000 UZS depending on Samsung, LG, Bosch or Indesit model.
What you can do before the technician arrives
- Unplug the machine
- Check the drain hose isn't kinked
- Carefully open the drain filter — place a bowl underneath
- Don't dismantle the pump without experience
Don't tilt the machine with water in the drum. Don't yank laundry — you may tear the door seal.
