Check and clean the drain filter. Locate the filter, usually at the front bottom of the machine, remove it, and clean out any debris. Ensure it is properly reinstalled.
Inspect the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Disconnect the hose from the back of the washer dryer and check for any obstructions. Reattach securely.
Test the drain pump for functionality. If the pump is making a humming noise but not draining, it may be faulty and need replacement. Consult the manual for instructions.
