A kinked, clogged, or too-deep drain hose is the first thing to check. The hose should sit only a few inches into the standpipe.

The pump filter

Many washers have a filter that catches coins and lint. A clogged filter stops draining and is usually easy to clean.

The standpipe clog

If the hose is clear, the standpipe itself is likely clogged with lint and soap. freezing winters put stress on exposed lines, and many older homes still have aging galvanized pipes In Blue Springs, a pro can clear the branch line.

The machine pump
