WASHING MACHINE · MOUNTAIN VIEW
Washing Machine not draining in Mountain View? We fix it.
A washer that fills and washes but leaves a tub of standing water is one of the most common calls we run. The water has to go somewhere, and when it does not, the fault is almost always in the pump, the filter, or the drain path.
We handle washing machine not draining repairs across Mountain View, from Old Mountain View, Cuesta, Shoreline to the surrounding neighborhoods.
We cover Mountain View from our San Ramon base (South Bay). Here is the short version; the full guide is on the Washing Machine Not Draining page.

Why this happens
What we look for first.
- Clogged pump filter or coin trap. Front-loaders from Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, Bosch and Electrolux have a drain pump filter behind a small access panel at the bottom front. It catches coins, hair pins, bra wires and lint. When it packs up, the pump cannot pull water through and the cycle stalls with a full tub. We open the trap, clear it, and check the impeller behind it for damage. This is the first thing we look at and often the whole fix.
- Failed drain pump motor. The drain pump itself runs off a small motor that burns out, seizes, or loses a winding. You will often hear it hum or buzz without moving water, or hear nothing at all. We test the pump for resistance and check for 120V at the connector during the drain step. If the motor is dead and the windings read open, the pump gets replaced as a unit. Common on high-cycle households.

Before you call
Is your washer or dryer worth repairing?
Repair price depends on the fault and access, especially on stacked units. If the machine cost under $1,000 new, the repair math may not work. We diagnose the machine on site and provide the written repair estimate before any work starts.
Under $1,000 new, repair may not be the right investment. Premium, stacked, and commercial-grade machines are stronger repair candidates, and we will give you a straight recommendation after diagnosis.
Worth checking yourself first: clear the lint trap and the vent path, make sure the load is not overloaded or sitting unbalanced, and look for a kink or clog in the drain hose. If the machine truly is done, put that money toward the replacement. And since we also run an HVAC side of the business, a free assessment visit comes with any furnace, A/C, or heat pump replacement.
