My washer won't fill up!

Here are the most common reasons:




If your washing machine tends to fill and drain at the same time, it means your drain hose is too low. This causes siphoning, a natural process which is gravity-related. All washer drains must be at least 38" from the floor, and must hang loosely into a larger drainpipe.

> 38"


Never seal off a washer drain because your drain is sluggish. Have it cleaned professionally. Sealing off a washer hose will cause pump failure in a short time.
