Find out what went wrong with your Daewoo washer when it won't drain

After the wash cycle ends and before the spin cycle starts, the water should drain from your Daewoo washer. If water remains, first check for a kink or clog in the drain hose or a backup in the house drain system. If the drain path is clear, the drain pump might have failed or the water-level pressure switch might not accurately sense how much water is left in the washer.

In a Daewoo 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 Daewoo front-load washer, a bad main electronic control board or failed motor control board can prevent the washer from draining and spinning. A clogged drain pump filter can also prevent a front-load washer from draining. Unplug the washer and check the drain pump filter. Clean debris out of the filter if it's clogged.

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

Common Daewoo washer replacement parts

• Agitator. The agitator is mounted inside the spin basket of a Daewoo top-load washer. The agitator rotates back and forth to moves the clothes inside the spin basket to clean the load. Replace the agitator if it's cracked or broken, or if the top part of the agitator is not ratcheting properly, which indicates damage to the teeth that engage the agitate dogs.
• Water inlet valve assembly. The water inlet valve assembly, which is electrically operated, controls water flow into the washer. It has a solenoid coil that opens the valve to allow water flow when the main electronic control board applies voltage to the solenoid coil.
• Water level pressure switch. The water-level pressure switch, senses, controls and maintains the water level in the outer wash tub. The pressure switch senses the water level through an air tube attached to the bottom of the tub. As the tub fills with water, air pressure in the air tube pushes up on a diaphragm inside the water-level pressure switch. A post attached to the diaphragm opens and closes electrical contacts inside the body of the water level pressure switch to control the water fill and to shut off the water when the washer is full.
• Motor coupler. The motor coupler is a flexible coupling on the motor shaft connection to the direct-drive transmission. If the drive system seizes up, the coupling breaks to protect the drive motor from damage.
• Lid switch. The lid switch is a safety mechanism on a top-load washer that detects whether the lid is open or closed. When the lid is open, either the spin basket won't spin or the drive motor won't run, depending on the model.
