Troubleshooting your Seacliff washer when it doesn't drain

After the wash cycle ends and before the spin cycle starts, the water should drain from your washer. If water remains, first check for a kink or clog in the drain hose, a backup in the house drain system or an improperly installed drain hose. If the drain path is clear and the drain hose is properly installed, the drain pump might have failed or the water-level pressure switch might not sense how much water is in the washer. In a top-load washer, a failed lid switch can keep the washer from advancing to the drain and spin cycle. A failed timer or problem with the drive motor can also prevent a top-load washer from draining and spinning. On a front-load washer, a bad main electronic control board or failed motor control board can prevent the washer from draining and spinning.

Many washers won’t spin if they’re not level, so performing preventive maintenance checks that include leveling the washer may help you get your washer draining and spinning.

What to check when your Seacliff washer isn't working at all

If your washer is completely unresponsive, start by ruling out the obvious-is it unplugged? Did the circuit trip? To test whether the electrical outlet is the problem, plug a hair dryer or other electrical device into it. If the hair dryer doesn't work, the wiring in the outlet is the problem. If the hair dryer works, there could be a wiring problem in the washer. Unplug the washer and check the power cord for damage. Check the wiring connections on the timer or main control board. If your washer has a digital display, check the wiring connections between the main control board and the user interface board. If the wiring connections are okay, you may need to replace the main control board or the user interface board.
