Turn On This Hidden Switch on Your Washing Machine — All the Dirty Water Drains Out Immediately!
The Secret Hack Every Washer Owner Should Know
If you’ve ever been stuck with a washing machine full of dirty water — whether after a wash cycle, a power outage, or a malfunction — you know how frustrating it can be to deal with that stagnant water. But what if I told you there’s a hidden switch or button on many washing machines that can instantly drain all that dirty water, saving you time, mess, and hassle?
This simple trick is a game-changer, and yet, most people don’t know about it.
What Is This Hidden Switch?
Many modern washing machines come equipped with a manual drain or drain pump override switch — a small button, lever, or dial tucked away inside the machine’s control panel or near the bottom access panel. Its purpose? To manually activate the drain pump and force all the water out without running a full spin cycle.
Why Use This Hidden Switch?
- Quickly removes standing water after a failed cycle or power cut
- Prevents mold and mildew buildup from water sitting too long
- Helps avoid potential water damage if you need to move or service the machine
- Saves the hassle of mopping or manual water removal
How to Find and Use the Switch:
- Check your washing machine’s manual:
Look for terms like “manual drain,” “drain pump override,” or “emergency drain” in the troubleshooting section. - Locate the access panel:
Many machines have a small panel near the bottom front. Remove this panel carefully to reveal the hidden switch or drain filter. - Identify the drain switch or knob:
It might be a small dial, a button, or a pull tab near the drain filter. - Activate the switch:
Turn or press the switch according to your manual’s instructions. This should turn on the drain pump and clear out the water. - Wait and watch:
You’ll see the water draining out through the machine’s usual drain hose.
