Immediate drain

Water drains out immediately — Drain hose issue.

Samsung · Washing Machines

What does Immediate drain mean?

If water drains out of the washer immediately after it fills, it indicates a problem with the drain hose setup or a clog. This prevents proper water retention for washing.

Common Causes

  • Drain hose is clogged
  • Drain hose is not correctly hung over the drain hose hook
  • Drain hose is installed incorrectly, causing a siphon effect
