How To Manually Drain Frigidaire Washing Machine — Quick Fix
To drain water from your Frigidaire washing machine, here’s what you’ll need to do…
Step 1. Turn off your washing machine’s water supply and unplug the power cord before attempting any repairs.
Step 2. Flip open the little panel at the lower front section of your washing machine. Place a towel and a container on the floor in front of the washing machine. Pull out the small capped hose under the panel. Pull the hose’s cap off and let any water that may be stuck inside the washing machine drain out.
Step 3. Once all the water has drained out of the washing machine, put the hose’s cap back on and push the hose back in place. Turn the knob beside the emergency drain hose counter-clockwise and pull it out (this is the drain pump filter).
Step 4. Take the filter to a sink and rinse out any debris or lint that may have accumulated in it. Once the filter is clean, put it back in place and turn it clockwise to secure.
Step 5. Flip the access panel back up, then turn on the water and power supply. Try running a wash cycle to see if the issue has been resolved.
Note: Please keep in mind that this is only applicable to front loader washing machines.
