Either remove filter from bottom of dryer if it has one, remember to put a towel or something to contain spillage or if no filter take off back panel and remove hose on pump motor again allow for spills.

Most of the time the problem is in the drain hose being blocked from debris. Check where your disposal meets the drain hose and be sure it’s not clogged. It is normal for it to leave a small amount of water in bottom

One way is to reset and start the dishwasher for a few seconds. Most dishwashers turn on the pump for a quick burst to remove the standing water before the unit adds fresh water.
Another is if you are going to do a repair or clean-out use a turkey baster to suck out the remaining water. Even high end dishwashers leave a small amount of water in the sump until you do the next wash.

I have a top laoder whirlpool8564990 it don´t spin well it leaves my clothes soaked and it goes to spinning cycle yet it don´t spin

From the information you have supplied, I suspect that the machine is not draining the water away,
1] Check that the drain pump is working (it would be easier to hear it running, before the machine starts the spin cycle, or if your machine has a "drain down" feature)
2] If the pump is running, stop the machine and unplug it from the mains power. Remove the machine drain tube from the point where it is plumbed into the household waste pipe, and lay it down into a bucket, or large pan and allow the water to drain down [ you should expect to get up to 2 gallons (10 Litres) of water from the machine]
Allow the water to drain down completely by holding the drain hose as low as possible into the bucket.
3] once the water has drained completely, remove the drain hose from the pump and check that the drain hose is not blocked.
4] If the hose was clear, and the pump was running (in tests [1] & [2] ), it will be necessary to check that the drain pump, and the main hose from the tub to the pump are clear of obstructions.
Remove any foreign objects, and re-assemble the hoses to the pump to the machine, and the drain hose to the domestic plumbing.

Plug the machine into the mains power, and and set the machine to run on the "last rinse" and "spin" cycles and test to see if the problem has been rectified.

I hope this helps cure your problem.

Saniflo is working its only connected to a sink but only pumps three quaters of the water away then stops and leaves rest of water in the sink

Sounds like the pump needs to be de-watered completely and cleaned. There is a pressure chamber that contains, I am guessing here since I hve never taken one apart, a float and a microswitch. If the float gets heavy with gunk or gets a hole in it, it will not float as well and will take more water in the drain pipe to cause it to rise up and activate the micro switch. I don't know how hard it is to disassemble these units but hope it is fairly simple since they are pricey. You said it was only on a sink, not a toilet or both. It is possible that grease has built up (the gunk) and a hot water flush may do the job for you but it will take a lot of hot water flowing through the grinder, that of some grease dissolving drain cleaner.

Doesn't drain out all the way water stays in

Hi
Dishwasher not draining issue usually occurs due to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. First make sure that the drain is not clogged and remove clogs if present. If no visible lint is present then remove the lower front access panel to check the drain filter and drain pump for any clogs, you'll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump completely. Also, check for any food pieces stuck near the pump impeller & clean the chopper assembly. Please note that dishwashers don't drain out the complete water such that heating element doesn't overheat. Hope this helps... Please post back for any further assistance.

Water not pumping

Hi

Dishwasher not pumping issue usually occurs due to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. Check the drain hose for any visible clogging, remove if present. If no visible lint is present then remove then turn off the dishwasher and remove the drain hose and check for any visible clogging. If still not visible then the drain filter or drain pump is clogged and you’ll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump.

Please note that dishwashers don’t pump out the complete water such that heating element doesn’t overheat.

Please post back for any further assistance.

The spine cycle seem slow need to run more then once

check the tub to pump and pump to drain for blockages of debris,the pump should drain the bulk of the water,then it should spin out the rest unless the belt is that glazed,get to the spin cycle and pull out the washer drain hose out of the house drain stand pipe and see how much force water is while being pumped out while just pumping and not spinning,there should be the water stream the size of the inside of the drain hose and good velocity of water flow to the drain

Washing machine will not drain all the water. If

there is always a little water left in the drum assembly when done pumping. however it is usually well below the level of the clothes basket/drum so that there is none contacting the clothes when at rest.
if you can actually visibly see water within the clothes basket/drum when the cycle is complete, then check below.
have you lengthened the drain hose beyond the standard length to reach to your taller than normal sewer/drain inlet??? if so then you're getting more water returning to the unit when the pump shuts off and if the extra hose is long enough then theres enough water returning to your tub so that the basket sits in water at rest..
if so you'll need to install a check valve to keep the additional water from going backwards into your unit. some of these units have one built into the drain hose where it connects to the pump.. i tried looking yours up via the model # listed on the 1st page but got nowhere with that number.

you could also have a restriction in your pump or drain assembly that may be slowing things down some.. can't be of more help without proper model # though..
hope this helps,
best of luck,
ttfn

My washer is not draining during the spin cycle

not draining your washer at all, pump may be bad or no power to pump, take the drain hose out of the "stand-pipe" where water enters the sewer drain, and lower to floor and see if water drains by gravity if only slowly your pump or hose may have a slug of crud in it blocking drainage to sewer pipe
