A tub full of water at the end of the cycle almost always traces back to a clogged pump filter, a kinked drain hose, a lid switch that isn't registering, or a drain pump that has given up. A few of those are safe to check yourself in five minutes. If the water still stands after that, we'll send a technician — call or text 225-327-2120 in the Baton Rouge area.
Lint, hair pins, sock fibers, and the occasional baby sock collect in the pump filter. Many front-loaders have a small access door near the bottom; top-loaders hide the filter deeper in the machine. Your manual will show you where yours lives.
A washer pushed back against the wall can pinch its own drain hose. Pull the machine out gently and check the hose for kinks or crush spots.
Washers won't drain or spin unless the lid or door is registered as closed. If your machine thinks the lid is open, it will simply refuse — quietly.
An off-kilter load can trip the machine's out-of-balance logic, pausing the cycle before the drain and spin. Redistribute the laundry evenly and try again.
If you hear a hum but no water moves, or nothing at all, the pump motor or its impeller may have failed. Pumps are a common, affordable repair.
On some washers, a worn belt or motor coupling stops the spin — and sometimes the drain — even though the motor runs. Brand-dependent and best diagnosed by a technician.
Drain pumps, lid switches, and drive components sit behind the cabinet. We don't recommend opening a washer's interior panels — pumps hold residual water and the wiring isn't forgiving.

Slow draining usually means a partial clog — lint, hair, or debris in the pump filter, or a restriction in the drain hose or standpipe. Clear what you can reach safely, and if slow draining turns into standing water, book a service call before the pump burns out.
They're related but not identical. Many washers refuse to spin when they can't drain, so a drain clog can stop both. A failed lid switch or door lock can also stop the spin for safety reasons, even when draining works.
It starts with a diagnostic — $99 on weekdays, starting at $149 on weekends, holidays, and after hours — applied toward the repair when it's completed the same visit. Labor is flat-rate and quoted up front, so you approve the price before work begins.
