Is there a way to make a washing machine drain?

Yes, you can force a washing machine to drain standing water by utilizing built-in diagnostic program settings or performing an emergency manual drain. If the appliance has electrical power, turn the cycle selector knob directly to the "Drain & Spin" or "Spin Only" program and press start to activate the internal drain pump. If the machine is unresponsive or clogged with heavy debris, you can force water out by lowering the flexible drain hose down toward a low-lying bucket resting on the floor below the level of the washing machine drum, allowing gravity to siphon the water out. You can troubleshoot drainage blockages easily by inspecting the drain hose. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when gravity siphoning or activating the pump clears all standing water from the drum completely.
