During the process of using the washing machine, you cannot avoid washing machine errors including the washing machine not holding water . The cause and how to fix this error will be clearly stated by THT Vietnam in the article below.

What is it like when the washing machine does not hold water?

The phenomenon of the washing machine not holding water is that during the washing process, water from the washing machine continuously drains or leaks out. This greatly affects the efficiency as well as the quality of washing clothes.

Causes of washing machine failure to retain water

There are many reasons why the washing machine cannot hold water in the drum for the washing program. Below is a list of some common causes that you can refer to:

The drain pipe is placed too low.

The first reason why the washing machine continuously drains water can be attributed to technical errors when installing the washing machine position. Specifically, the drain pipe of the washing machine is placed too low compared to the manufacturer’s regulations and the washing machine’s location. This causes the washing machine to retain water in the washing drum and drain it all out of the drain pipe.

Incorrect placement of water pipes makes it difficult for the washing machine to retain water.

Wrong washing mode setting

The next reason that you can easily recognize is that you have set the wrong washing mode. Instead of turning on the machine and choosing the fixed mode that you know, you customize some small functions or press a “strange” function key that you are not sure how it works. This can be the reason why the washing machine cannot keep water inside.

Choosing the wrong washing mode is the reason why the washing machine cannot retain water.

The water discharge valve is damaged.

When in the middle of a washing program, you suddenly see the washing machine continuously draining water without any sign of stopping. If you have checked that the drain pipe is properly positioned and the washing mode is also adjusted appropriately, you can think of the washing machine’s drain valve as having a problem.

The washing machine is constantly draining water due to a broken drain valve.

There are many errors related to the water valve that cause the washing machine to not keep water in the washing drum, such as dirt, fabric fibers, foreign objects that accumulate and jam the water drain valve, causing the valve door to not close, or the rubber valve of the drain valve becomes hard, loses elasticity, causing the valve to leak. At that time, the washing machine continuously discharges water.

The washing machine control board is faulty.

The electronic circuit board is an important part, responsible for controlling the entire operation of the washing machine. When the electronic circuit board is damaged or the program has errors, other parts may not function normally, properly. In this case, the circuit board controls the water discharge valve door to always open, causing water to continuously escape without being able to retain it in the washing drum to serve the washing process.

How to fix the washing machine not holding water error at home

Adjust the location of the water pipe

When the washing machine is draining water due to the water pipe being placed in the wrong position (too low), you just need to readjust it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Adjust the position of the drain pipe according to the manufacturer’s regulations.

Adjust the washing mode accordingly.

For this cause, the solution is also very simple. You just need to press the power button (Power or On/Off depending on the machine model) to turn off the washing machine, then turn it back on by pressing Start to run the default washing mode or select the available washing modes (which you know how it works) on the machine and start washing.

Select the default washing mode to avoid the error of the washing machine continuously draining water.

Check, repair or replace the drain valve

In case the washing machine’s drain valve is damaged, you should remove the drain valve from the machine and depending on the problem, there will be different ways to fix it such as removing and cleaning the drain valve, replacing the rubber valve, etc. If you do not know how to do it, do not hesitate to contact the Warranty Center immediately for support from experienced technicians.

Repair and replace the drain valve to fix the washing machine draining problem.

Repair or replace electronic circuit board

As mentioned above, the electronic circuit board is a very important component in the washing machine. Therefore, if the circuit board is faulty, you should ask a technician to help check and repair it, to avoid self-repair and causing more serious errors.

Above are the causes and solutions for the washing machine not holding water error you can refer to. If in case the washing machine does not stop draining water after applying the above measures. Contact the experts in washing machine repair immediately.
