Why does the machine not drain the water?

Unfortunately, the fact that the washing machine does not drain water is one of the most common malfunctions. Causes may be different:

1. A garbage nozzle that runs from the tank to the pump( pump) is clogged. Small parts of clothing( for example, socks) can get stuck in the nozzle and, as a result, the automatic machine can not drain water.
