how to unblock a washing machine

If water still pools in the drum or the machine won’t drain after cleaning the filter and hose, the pump may be broken – call a technician.

Before we dive into the solution, let's take a look at some common causes of blockages in washing machines:

: Unplug the machine from the wall to prevent electric shock. Water Supply : Turn off the water valve behind the machine.

If the filter was clear, the blockage might be in the hose that carries water from the machine to your drain pipe.
