Check the drain hose installation
The drain hose may extend more than 4.5″ (114 mm) into the standpipe. Check the plumbing for correct installation, use the drain hose form, and attach the hose securely to the drainpipe or tub. Do not tape over the drain opening.
Check the hose height
The end of the drain hose should be higher than 36 inches from the floor. If it is not, the washer could siphon, which means it fills and drains at the same time.
Check for kinks and clogs
Look along the drain hose for a kink or a clog.
