Water stays in the tub
What you see
The cycle ends with standing water or stops before spinning, sometimes with a display warning.
Likely causes
A kinked hose, blocked drain path, faulty drain mechanism or pump depending on the design.
Safe to try
Unplug the washer and inspect only the exposed hose. Do not open a filter holding hot water or tip the machine to drain it.
Technician
A technician checks drainage and the relevant mechanism, pump and wiring before recommending a replacement.
