Tub does not fill

Water entering but tub does not fill – Drain hose siphoning

Electrolux · Washing Machines

What does Tub does not fill mean?

Water appears to be entering the washer, but the tub does not fill to the expected level. This is typically caused by the drain hose standpipe being too low, leading to a siphoning effect where water immediately drains out.

Common Causes

  • Drain hose standpipe is too low, causing water to siphon out of the tub (minimum 23.6 inches / 60 cm high)

  3. 3

    Ensure the drain hose is securely positioned in the standpipe without being pushed too far down.
