Admiral ATW4675YQ 4.5 cu ft Top Load Washer with Deep Water Wash and Fabric Softener Dispenser Won't Drain Error Fix: Water Not Draining From Tub

The washer tub remains full of water after the cycle completes. The drain pump may be clogged with small items (coins, bobby pins, socks, or debris) that obstruct the pump impeller. Listen for a humming sound — this indicates the pump motor is running but the impeller is jammed. If the pump is silent, the pump motor may have failed electrically (open winding) or the timer may not be sending power to the pump. Check the drain hose for kinks or clogs. Access the pump from below the washer by tilting it back. Clear any obstructions from the impeller and test the pump motor for continuity.
