Haier washing machine does not drain

For owners of a Haier washing machine, an unmistakable sign of a problem is difficulty draining water. In this case, there may be problems: things turn out to be wet or locked in the drum. According to experts, in this case it is not always advisable to involve professionals in repairs. In this article, we will figure out why the machine does not drain water, and how to fix the problems that caused this yourself.

How does this failure manifest itself?

It is very easy to reliably determine that a Haier washing machine has stopped draining water. During the operating cycle, a whole list of characteristic symptoms will appear. Classic symptoms of drainage problems include:

• increasing the duration of the washing program;
• the draining process takes more than 3-4 minutes;
• there is a mode reset in which the Haier washing machine freezes;
• during draining, the machine “locks”;
• the draining process becomes intermittent, the machine either drains or does not drain the water;
• washing is carried out without problems, but when rinsing the machine stops;
• The spin mode does not turn on.

It is necessary to take into account that the cause of the problem may lie in a whole range of problems: from the simplest blockage to the failure of the control board (a rarer, but very difficult to repair failure). Most often, the machine does not drain water if:

• the pipe connecting the tank and the pump is clogged;
• the pump has failed or become clogged;
• the filter is clogged;
• the drain hose is clogged or pinched;
• There is a blockage in the sewer.

One of the features of the Haier washing machine is that it has a self-diagnosis function.This is a built-in system that independently identifies the problem that caused the drainage to malfunction. The owner can only look at the error code indicated on the display or look at the corresponding indication. Next, using the instructions, the breakdown and the location of its occurrence are specified. Now you should draw up a plan for repair and restoration work.

Check and clean the “main” drain

Repairs begin with cleaning the drainage. In most cases, it is its blockages that lead to the machine not draining water. The procedure does not require special skills, but must be performed methodically and in compliance with safety regulations.

First, the unit is disconnected from the power supply, water supply and sewerage. At the next stage, the filter is opened and the water is drained from the machine.

1. Use a screwdriver to unclip the technical hatch cover.
2. We tilt the body of the machine back (by 3-4 cm).
3. We place a reservoir under the filter for draining water.
4. The plug is slowly unscrewed.
5. The water from the tank is completely drained.

Next, the filter is removed and thoroughly washed. It is necessary to remove all types of contaminants, including scale. During cleaning, do not damage or deform plastic and rubber parts. If necessary, you can use brushes (old toothbrushes are most suitable) and a solution of citric acid.

Important! It is strictly forbidden to use boiling water during washing, which will certainly lead to failure of the plastic plug!

All that remains is to clean the filter installation slot, install the plug, assemble the machine and turn on the test cycle. Normal drainage will confirm a successful repair.

Waste water is not pumped out

What to do if the machine still does not drain the water? Then you will have to continue troubleshooting.The Haier washing machine is again disconnected from water and electricity sources. The panel is removed again and the filter is removed. Then they begin to diagnose the pump. First of all, check the impeller. Its task is to pump the drained water in the right direction.

The impeller itself should spin freely and rotate by inertia. But, during long-term operation, this pump part wraps around fabric fibers, hair, or becomes jammed with an ordinary coin. If the pump is not working, draining becomes impossible.

Using a flashlight, we inspect the pump through the hole into which the filter part is installed. We remove any debris found and rotate the blades. If the impeller rotates freely, the pump is working properly. When rotation is difficult or impossible, the pump has failed. The next step is to “electrically test” the water drain. The Haier washing machine is connected to the mains and the spin program is activated. A stationary impeller when the machine engine is running indicates that the pump is broken.

Based on considerations of the ratio of repair efficiency/costs, there is no point in restoring a broken pump. It is much more practical to purchase a new pump and install it on the machine. As a rule, you can find components and spare parts at Haier not difficult, since they are available in specialized stores and offered by online suppliers. When purchasing, specify the serial number of the washing machine or provide the removed pump for accurate selection. The procedure for dismantling the pump is as follows:

• the washing machine is disconnected from the water and electricity sources, after which it is laid on its side, on the dispenser side;
• the pallet is dismantled (if any);
• the location of the pump is determined through the bottom (on the cochlea);
• the pipes are removed, the wires are disconnected;
• the mounting bolts are unscrewed;
• the pump is removed;
• the snail is cleaned.

Installation of a new pump occurs in the reverse order. The unit is installed in the seat, the fasteners are tightened and the pipes with electrical wiring are connected. The pallet is put in place. The washing machine is placed on its feet, connected and a test wash is carried out. If the desired result is not achieved, you should contact the workshop.
