trying to finish my laundry, need help unclogging my washer. any assistance would be greatly appreciated?
I was recently doing laundry and noticed that my washer stopped and would not drain the water inside. How can I get it to start working again? or at least drain the remaining water inside the machine. This is all very new to me. Please help.

- Washer smells and drains spit and gurgle with laundry loads the same rotten egg smell?
When I do laundry, when the washer drains my bathroom sink spits and bathtub drain gurgles and there is a horrible rotten egg smell. I cut back on laundry soap and fab softener and the stinch is still lingering. Have also tried the septic treatments and nothing has worked. Have tried to check the drain vents but doesn’t looked clogged. You can hear the gurgling outside also from the vents. What is going on with my draining system? HELP ME!... - How much to unblock drains?
I have noticed that the drain in my back garden in over flowing whenever the washing machine or when the bath has been emptied, also when I flush the toilet water bubbles out of the drainer in the shower. Does this sound like a big problem to fix?? how much would I expect to pay at the most to unblock the problem??? thanks for any advice...
If it just stopped and won’t drain then your pump probably went out which means you will have to have it worked on or get a new washer. Mine did that. Take the clothes out and ring them as much as you can by hand. Hopefully it was on the rinse cycle so the soap is out. If there’s no soap then go ahead and dry them as usual. The water might slowly drain out on it’s own. Depending on the age of the washer, decide to either get that one fixed or get a new one. Mine was about 15 years old when my pump went out so I got a new one. If yours is only 2 or 3 years old then you might want to get it worked on. If it’s fairly new then it might still be under warranty.
Well, you get a garden hose and siphon it or bail it out with cup and bucket.
Most likely cause is that a sock is caught in the internal drain hose or something is caught in the pump.
Take off the panel and disconnect the hose from the drum. if you have a sock, you’ll see it. The little white pump may have an obstruction. Take the hose off and look.
Otherwise, it’s repair man time.
