How to turn on the water drain in the LG washing machine

It so happens that the LG washing machine draws water, and the washing stops for some reason. Or you accidentally remembered that you forgot to get documents or a phone from the pockets of your washable trousers. In such a situation, immediately drain the water from the tank and open the hatch. How to quickly turn on the water drain on the LG washing machine?

Hardware drain activation

If the error code does not “hang” on the LG machine’s display and it responds to your commands, you can drain the tank at any stage of the program, whether it is washing or rinsing. What should be done?

• First you need to stop the program by clicking on the “Stop / start” button.
• Next you need to twist the selector of the program selection, setting it to the "Spin" position.
• Now the most paradoxical stage. It is necessary to press the “Spin” button so that the light on the control panel lights up, opposite the inscription “No spin”.

Important! If you press the “Spin” button several times, then you select the spin speed, and we don’t need it, we need the system to start spinning as it were, and then everything ends with a drain without spinning the drum.

• According to the timer, forced draining of water without spinning will take 1 minute, in fact everything will depend on the amount of water in the tank of the LG washing machine.

After the drain is over, the machine will stop, you can open the hatch and pull out an object accidentally caught in the drum. As you can see, everything is simple.

Alternative water removal

Hardware drain is good because you do not need to disassemble anything. LG washing machine will remove water after pressing a few buttons, everything is fast and convenient. However, this function is not available if the display shows error code. Even after rebooting the system, the control panel may not be activated for user manipulation and this is a problem.

In this case, you will have to manually remove the water from the tank, and now we will tell you how to do this in the most simple and painless way. The LG washing machine, like many other automatic washing machines, has a waste filter. You can unscrew this filter and water, through the formed hole, will flood onto the floor. You can substitute some capacity, lay rags and thereby reduce the risk of a flood to a minimum, but you can do even easier.

1. Next to the trash filter of the LG washing machine, there is a small black hose with a plug - this is an emergency drain hose. You can find it if you open the technological access door in the front wall of the housing, bottom right.
2. We take some capacity deeper, for example a basin and put it next to the front wall of the machine body.
3. We take out the emergency drain hose and take out the plug. Water begins to flow from the machine directly into the basin.
4. Watch the filling of the basin. If there is a lot of water, return the plug to the end of the hose and go pour the water out of the basin, then repeat the procedure until all the water in the tank is removed.

There may be a lot of water in the tank of the LG washing machine. You will have to empty the pelvis more than once before you can remove all the water. By the way, through the drain hose all the water from the machine will not come out. There will still be a decent amount in the nozzles and in the cochlea, so for the final drainage of the unit you need to unscrew the waste filter.
