It is possible for the washer to fill and drain water at the same time.
- Make sure that the house drain is at least 30 inches high.
- If so, check to make sure the drain hose is not pushed too far down into the drain.
- If it is, pull it out 2" inches. That should solve the problem.
- 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.
