Your drain pump is broken if the washing machine consistently fails to empty water from the tub, leaving standing water after cycles finish, accompanied by an unusual loud buzzing or grinding noise from the lower cabinet. To verify if it is truly broken rather than just clogged, unplug the machine, remove the front access panel, and check the pump filter for obstructions. If the filter is clear, spin the impeller by hand to ensure it turns freely, and test the electrical motor terminals with a multimeter for continuity. If the motor shows an open circuit or fails to run when powered, the pump is broken and must be replaced.
