Performing Manual Drain In the event the washer will not drain under its own power due to a power outage or clogged drain pump you can drain the water left in the drum manually. CAUTION BURN HAZARD Do not attempt to manually drain the drum if it is full of hot water. Allow water to cool before proceeding with manual draining. With a catch pan ready, pinch the two flaps on the sides drain spout and flip it down. NOTE Removing the pump cleanout door completely may be necessary to place your catch pan under the drain spout. When the water has stopped flowing, press the drain spout back up and in until the outer flaps snap into place.
