Maytag Epic not draining, checked hosees all clear drain pump was checked and it works. Any other suggestions?

Check pump belt may be broke are off.

It is a common fault that the drain fails to work in most machines in a period of time and is the most problematic fault in a washing machine. In all occasions it is important that your observation is most important and so is vital to the identification /rectification and solution. If you have noticed that water has leaked then as the drain hose pump/valve and fittings are located on the underside of the machine it is important that you look for possible leaks here. In some cases the drain hose would be clogged at the drain end to outlet of the house and so there will be back flushing resulting in overflow to the outside. Also the drain pump/valve can be clogged. Now remove the drain hose clamps and remove the drain pump/valve, clean the drain pump/valve, use back flushing to clear off all dirt. Now test using power to see if this works and can be simulated. When refitting, the hose must be tightened properly. If the pump/valve does not work even with power then it must be replaced. If there is intermittent power to the drain valve/pump then the program controller unit is a suspect.

Finally the washer must be placed with a tilt- use a spirit level- so that all water will drain to the outlet port and thereby there is no residual water remaining.

Hi

Error code SD/5d means LONG DRAIN. This error appears when the drain time exceeds 8 minutes and the water valves turn off. After 4 minutes the "Sd" error will be displayed, and then 4 minutes later the F21 error code will be displayed. Press PAUSE/CANCEL two times to clear the display. Please Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked. If the drain hose if fine then unplug the washer and check the electrical connections at the pump and make sure the pump is running. Check the drain pump filter for foreign objects. To access the drain pump and filter remove the front kick panel and trace the drain hose to the bottom of the washer, drain pump would be located there. If you are not able to access it, then replace the back panel as well. Plug in washer or reconnect power. If the issue is still not resolved then you would need to replace the drain pump. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

F02 is fault code for DRAIN, the pump may be blocked or the drain hose blocked or kinked. Most washers have an access plug behind the lower front panel of the machine which you can open and check for blockage of the pump.

You may have something lodged in to the right side of the filter housing that is still blocking the pump. If the pump is warm, that is an indicator that it is at least trying to run (power is going to it).
I usually pull out the front pump mounting screw to pull the pump forward before removing the trap assembly so that I can put a cake pan under it. I also grasp the large hose in the back of the pump that comes from the tub so that I can "meter out" the water flow to avoid a flood.
There is no re-set that has to be done.
Try removing the entire pump once you get all the water out and you may find something caught in the pump impellar.
Good Luck!

If this is a Maytag Epic, you are referring to the drain pump reservoir. The following link explains how to access and clean the drain pump:

Make sure you also check the hose that runs from the bottom of the wash tub to the inlet side of the pump. Small articles of clothing can become lodged here. If you have questions, please post back and let me know. I hope this helps you.

NOTE: If the link does not work for you, copy and paste to your web browser. Maytag Epic is manufactured by Whirlpool, so these instructions do apply.

if she could open the door during wash cycle the door lock is broken and you may need a new one also inspect pumpn and tub to pump hose for foreign objects

u take your front panel off at the bottom then u should see the drain pump and drain filter remove the filter check for blockage if none pump will need replaced odds are u have your filter clogged with some change or sock
