E3 · Washing machine not draining

Safe first steps

1. Unplug the washing machine from the power outlet to ensure safety before starting any checks.
2. Locate the filter, usually found at the front bottom of the machine, and open it carefully.
3. Check the filter for any blockages or foreign objects. Clean it thoroughly if necessary.
4. After cleaning, reassemble the filter and plug the washing machine back into the power outlet.
5. Run a short drain cycle to check if the issue is resolved. If the error persists, further investigation is needed.

When to stop

• If the washing machine still does not drain after cleaning the filter, and you hear unusual noises or see leaks, stop and call a professional.
