Though home appliances were invented, in large part, to make modern life flow more easily, there still are hiccups along the way that we have to deal with. Fortunately, along with the invention, comes ways to maintain or repair the item. A prime example of this process is with the drain in virtually any washing machine. The majority of washing machine drain problems are relatively simple do-it-yourself fixes that will allow you to keep enjoying the convenience of your time saving device with little or no expense.
A regular review of the drain hose itself can help you fix or avoid drainage problems. If you find that the hose shows signs of cracking, replace it before it breaks and causes you a real headache. If the drain hose of the washing machine appears to be in good shape, take time to check the strength of the “U” shaped portion of the hose. This part of the hose is designed to detain or control the speed of the water entering the drain pipe. If it isn’t sufficiently strong, you could experience drain problems, including nasty overflows.
The quickest catch-all problem solving method is to have the drain line snaked. Furthermore, if you are experiencing backups in other drain areas in your house, that may point to the principal drain as the culprit. Have that line snaked in addition to the that of the washing machine. This general treatment is probably not a bad idea when the drain is slow as well, especially if you live in an older home.
Another item to focus on is the drain pipe. The requirements for each washing machine can differ with respect to the size of the drain pipe. The type of washer you have will determine its flow rate or drain rate. If your new machine’s rate of flow, for example, is substantially faster than your previous machine’s, you may need to reconfigure the diameter size of your drain pipe opening to accommodate for it. Overlooking this item can effect the drainage and, in turn, hinder the effectiveness of your washing machine.
A way to work around this challenge is with the installation of a drain tub. The tub is simply a catch basin that will receive all the water that is expelled by the washing machine at the end of a wash or rinse cycle, and then allow the drainage to occur without fear of overflow.
An additional measure to take to help prevent or minimize washing machine related drain problems, is the installation of a drain pan. This is more of a safety measure in the event of a drain malfunction or leak. The pan fits right under the machine and will retain water instead of letting it flow on to the floor. As indoor laundry rooms are practically the norm, the drain pan should be looked at as more of a necessity than an optional addition.
Running through the above checks, additions and fixes should provide you with enough basics to grapple with the great majority washing machine drain problems. Make a habit of not taking your machine and its function for granted. This will help you minimize the serious problems and keep your machine washing for years and years to come.
