What does Won't drain/spin mean?

The Zanussi WD 2290 Washing Machine fails to remove water or complete the spin cycle at the end of a program.

Common Causes

  • The drain hose is sharply bent or kinked.
  • The drain hose is placed in a way that obstructs normal water flow.
  • The drain filter is clogged with lint or small objects.
  • For gentle wash cycles, water draining may need to be manually activated.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Inspect the drain hose for any sharp bends or kinks that could be obstructing water flow.

  2. 2

    Ensure the drain hose is not positioned in a way that impedes proper water drainage.

  3. 3

    Clean the drain filter, located at the bottom right-hand corner of the washer, to remove any fluff or small objects.

    If using a gentle wash cycle, turn the program selector knob to cycle 'P' (drain with gentle spin) or 'R' (drain without spin) to initiate water drainage.
