All the water will not drain out of the bottom of the washer

F21 means the washing machine has a “water draining issue”, meaning the drain pump itself, or the drain hose is clogged and the washer is having problems draining the water out. In other words, the washer is taking too long to drain the water out of the tub. If you have a front load washer then you need to locate the drain pump which is usually located on the bottom front of the machine. If you have a top load washer then you need to make sure the drain hose is not clogged or pinched. The drain hose is located in the back bottom of the washer

The filter is located at the bottom front of washer.
Remove the kickstrip at the bottom, by levering off.
Unscrew filter anti-clockwise to remove and clean..
Be careful when removing filter, as there will be water come out.Lay the drain hose down into a bowl or similar to drain off excess water.
Please rate my solution.
Thankyou

Remove your bottom front kick panel, usually two to three screws on the very bottom front of the washer. Unplug washer, have a lot of towels ready to mop up the water that comes out of the washer. In the very center front of the washer is the round plastic drain pump filter for the washer. Unscrew this a little,(turn the plastic screw counterclockwise) and let the water drain completely as you soak it up with your towels. When it is completely drained, unscrew the filter the rest of the way and clean out all the debris in the filter and inside its receptacle. Reinstall everything and test. I recommend you do this at least every 6 months. If this doesn't work then you may have a bad water pump. Good Luck, Appliance Specialists

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. This may happen due one or more than one of these issues with your washer--
Probably there is something(coins, socks, dirt, debris, etc) stuck inside the drain filter of your washer. You'll need to check the drain filter. To access the drain filter. To check the drain pump follow these steps:




Unplug the washer to completely disconnect electrical power.Remove the bottom front service panel as shown in the first image below.


Also check your drain hose for a kink or clog. Check the washer house drain for a clog or restriction. Test the washer to see if it will drain properly.


This issue can also be due to clogged drain pump or drain filter, due to which the hose have developed leak. This will cause suds


Please rate the solution if you find it useful and helpful.

Try cleaning the drain plug. I did this in about 5 minutes and was amazed at how much debris was clogging up the drain. Mine was accessible by removing two screws at the bottom of washer and removing panel. Drain plug was right there and easy to unscrew. Be sure to have a cookie sheet or other pan to catch the water that will flow out. Once that drain is clear, thumping should stop because water can flow down the drain easily.

I removed the drain hose from the bottom left rear corner of the washer & cleaned a large amount of gooey sludge from the bottom of the drain inside the washing machine.

It sounds like you need a 2 way valve , its a valve thats suppose to recycle the water during the wash and then open so that the water can drain. it's at the bottom of the washer right by the drain hose.

at the bottom of the washer is instructions on how to drain the water inside the washer. A small hose is contained at the bottom right hand corner with a white plug (you need to pull on it hard). Once you remove the plug from the small drain hose it will drain all the washer water.

Before you do all this make sure you disconnect the electrical wire or turn off the breaker switch to the washer machine.

This is a water saver or previously known as a suds saver model. The bottom one is the drain. The top one would go to a suds tub. If you set the machine on save, the wash water is pumped out of the top hose into the holding sink next to the washer. The rinse water goes out the bottom hose to the drain. The next cycle you could set the washer to the very beginning of the main wash cycle and the washer would pump the water from the tub back into the washer to be used as wash water for the second load of laundry. Yea, used water. But the first load would be lightly soiled stuff, and the next load would be old barn clothes or play clothes. It was designed to save water (about 65 gallons used for 2 loads vs. 90 gallons) and soap. (now, front load machines with larger tubs would use as little as 25 gallons for two loads.) Just hook up the bottom hose to the drain. Leave the save / drain switch set to drain and you'll be fine. To be extra safe (in case the switch was accidentally set to save) disconnect the wires at the solenoid where the drain hose splits into two at the back bottom of the washer. (right where the hoses exit the machine.)

remove the panel to observe the drain hoses while machine is in use. using a flashlight, locate the hose that you see leaking.
