It is possible for the washer to fill and drain water at the same time.



  1. Make sure that the house drain is at least 30 inches high.
  2. If so, check to make sure the drain hose is not pushed too far down into the drain.
  3. If it is, pull it out 2" inches. That should solve the problem.
  4. If the washer still fills and drains water at the same time, service may be necessary. Schedule a service appointment on-line.

Also see the list of parts that may potentially impair a washer's ability to spin here.

Note: If house drain is not at least 30" high, we have packed an anti-siphon clip in the installation package. It attaches to the hose and the back of the washer to lift the drain hose up.
