What to do when your Danby washer won't drain

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

How to fix your Danby washer when it won't fill

If your Danby washer doesn't fill with water, first check that the house water supply to the washer is on. If it is, and the washer won't fill at all, the inlet valves might have failed. If the washer fills partially, the problem is likely with the water-level pressure switch. If the washer agitates without filling, then the pressure switch is likely broken because it's detecting the full tub of water when the tub is empty.
