The drain pump is not operating or is not draining water within the expected time. Standing water remains in the tub after the drain cycle. Check the drain hose for kinks or clogs. Clean the drain pump filter/food trap — accessible from inside the tub at the bottom. Listen for the drain pump running — if silent, the pump motor may have failed. If the pump hums but does not drain, the impeller may be jammed or broken. Replace the drain pump motor if needed.
