Understanding the Problem
If your LG WM210 front-load washer fills but doesn't drain or spin, the laundry stays wet at the end of the cycle and you may hear the motor trying to run or no sound at all. This problem is one of the most common failures and can be caused by a blocked drain, a failed drain pump, a faulty door lock, motor/drive issues, or an electronic control fault. Start by checking simple items: the drain hose, the pump filter (if accessible), and error codes on the washer display. If the drain path and filter are clear but the washer still won't pump out water or spin, the drain pump or door lock are the next most likely culprits. Less commonly, the motor, belt/drive system (model dependent), or the control board can be at fault.
Common Symptoms
Washer fills but won't drain; clothes are soaked after cycle; loud humming or no sound when pump should run; error codes related to drain or door lock; water left in tub after cycle.
Common Causes
- Clogged drain hose or pump filter blocking water flow
- Failed drain pump (electrical or mechanical failure)
- Faulty door lock/interlock preventing spin cycle

Helpful Repair Tip
Run the washer on the 'Drain & Spin' or diagnostic mode and listen at the bottom front for the pump running; no pump noise plus water remaining usually indicates a bad drain pump (or power to it). If you get F-codes, note them and consult the service manual for exact diagnosis.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check if the drain pump is bad?
Put the washer into a Drain & Spin cycle (or diagnostic drain) and listen. If you hear the pump run and water still remains, check for a blocked impeller or kinked hose. If you hear no noise and the pump has power at the connector, the pump is likely failed and should be replaced. Always disconnect power before accessing the pump.
Can I fix this myself or should I call a technician?
You can clear clogs, inspect hoses, and check for obvious issues yourself. Replacing the drain pump or door lock is within reach for a confident DIYer with basic tools and safety precautions. If the problem is the control board, motor, or you see electrical faults, or if you're unsure how to access internal parts, call a qualified appliance technician to avoid injury or further damage.
