Why won't my washing machine fill up? The water runs in and then drains out?

Is pumping it out or just draining?





Is your end of your drain hose lower than the water in the tub or did you seal up the hose to the drain?





In that case the water may be siphoning out.





I am not familiar with your brand but most washers need a place for the air to get in (anti-siphon) that is higher than the lower water level in the tub. Sealing it up to the drain also makes the drain like one long hose.





Just a guess. Good luck.Why won't my washing machine fill up? The water runs in and then drains out?
My neighbor had a problem like that with her washer. She had it on the main floor (no basement). The pipe behind it has slipped down into the crawl space, so it was draining the water as fast as it came in. Check that, if that is what happened to your, just pull it back up and fasten.Why won't my washing machine fill up? The water runs in and then drains out?
The drain hose on the back of the machine has to run up over the level of the top of the wash tub before it can be looped back down to a basement sump drain or the water will just run back out. I'll bet that's what you have, right?
If you drain hose is less than 30 inchs above the floor the water will flow out as fast as it comes in.
Because it be broken.
