Estate Washer won't drain
If your Estate washer won't drain, start with the drain pump, the most likely cause of a washer not draining. Small objects or clothing can block the pump, and a pump that remains noisy during the drain cycle may need replacement. If the pump is clear, a faulty control board may not send voltage to it. On models that use a timer, a defective timer can cause the same washing machine not draining problem. Next, inspect the drain hose for kinks, crushing, or a clog from lint and hair, especially if the washer has moved during a cycle. A blocked door lock or door latch can also prevent the washer from operating correctly, as can debris in the lid switch assembly or door lock. Unplug the machine before inspecting parts, and use a multimeter only if you are comfortable testing live voltage and have the wiring diagram. Enter your model number to find the exact drain pump, control board, timer, drain hose, door latch, or lid switch for your specific Estate washing machine.
01 - Estate Washing Machine Drain Pump
Sometimes, small objects or articles of clothing can get caught in the drain pump. To determine if anything is blocking the drain pump, remove the drain pump and check the pump for obstructions. If the drain pump is clear of obstructions, but is still noisy during the drain cycle, replace the drain pump.

02 - Estate Washing Machine Control Board
Since a washing machine control board provides voltage to nearly all of the washer's electrical components, a faulty board may not be sending power to the drain pump during the drain cycle. You can inspect the board for signs of burning or a shorted-out component. You can also use a multimeter to test for incoming power to the drain pump after reviewing the appliance's wiring diagram. If no voltage is present when the washer is in the drain cycle, it's likely the control board is defective and will need to be replaced.

03 - Estate Washing Machine Timer
On some washing machine models, a timer is used to determine when voltage is to be sent to the washer's electrical components. A faulty timer may not be sending power to the drain pump during the drain cycle. You can inspect the timer for signs of burning or a shorted-out component. You can also use a multimeter to test for incoming power to the drain pump after reviewing the appliance's wiring diagram. If no voltage is present when the washer is in the drain cycle, it's likely the timer is defective and will need to be replaced.

04 - Drain hose is clogged or kinked
Check to see if the drain hose is kinked or crushed. If your washer "dances" during cycles, it may have moved and kinked the hose. The drain hose could also be clogged with lint or hair. You can use a thin, long-handled brush to clean the hose.
