Blocked Drains Lincoln

Is your washing machine in Lincolnshire not draining properly? A clogged drain pump can be a frustrating issue, but fortunately, it's often an easy fix. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we've put together a step-by-step guide to help you unblock your washing machine's drain pump.

Before you start, make sure your washing machine is turned off and unplugged from the power source. This will prevent any accidental start-ups or electrical shocks.

The first step is to check the washing machine's filter. Depending on the model, the filter may be located at the bottom of the machine or behind a panel. Check your user manual to find the location of the filter on your specific machine. Remove any blockages, such as coins, buttons, or lint, that may be clogging the filter.

Next, you'll need to access the drain pump. This is usually located at the bottom of the machine, near the drain hose. You may need to remove a panel or the bottom cover to access the pump.

Once you have access to the pump, check the propeller for any blockages. The propeller is responsible for pushing water out of the machine, so if it's clogged, water won't drain properly. Remove any debris, such as hair or fabric, that may be tangled around the propeller.

Check the drain hose for any kinks or blockages. Make sure the hose is properly connected to the washing machine and the drain pipe. If the hose is kinked or blocked, water won't drain properly.

Now it's time to clean the drain pump. Use a soft brush or a cloth to remove any debris or blockages from the pump. Make sure to clean the pump thoroughly to ensure proper drainage.

Once you've cleaned the drain pump, test the washing machine by running a cycle with hot water. Check to see if the water drains properly. If it doesn't, you may need to repeat the cleaning process.

If you're still having issues with drainage, try checking the drain hose for any blockages. Place a bucket under the drain hose and run a cycle with hot water. If water flows freely into the bucket, the issue is likely with the drain pipe. If not, the issue may be with the washing machine's drain pump.

If you're still having issues with drainage, it may be worth checking the drain pipe for any blockages. You can use a drain snake or plumber's auger to check for blockages. If you're not comfortable with this process, it's always best to call a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains Lincoln.
