What is wrong w/ my washing machine? i had a old one that did this so i replaced it w/a new one?

Question

and now its doing it as well! it goes through the wash cycle then stops between the rinse and spin, the water will not drain out... what could it be? oh, i have a septic tank, but, i think the washer water doesnt go into it (i live way in the country)

im not having prob w/ tub or sinks draining.... what can i try so i can exhaust every measure before calling a plumber????

Answer 1

Make sure the hot and cold water to the machine is on. Some rinses will only use cold or hot. So both have to be hooked up. If ok make sure your lid swith is in good working order.

Answer 2

Is the outlet pipe clean and unblocked?  They do block sometimes with soap scum, lint etc.

Answer 3

If it just stops and doesn't run at the end of the wash, the agitation, the most common cause is a bad lid switch.

I have even had customers after having problems want to "watch" it so they leave the lid open. lol.

Does it "try" to drain? I mean is it running but not draining? If not running check that switch.
