A washer that leaves clothes soaking or stops mid-cycle often has a drain problem. Here is the Grants Pass guide.

A kinked, clogged, or too-deep drain hose is the first thing to check. The hose should sit only a few inches into the standpipe.
The pump filter
Many washers have a filter that catches coins and lint. A clogged filter stops draining and is usually easy to clean.
The standpipe clog
If the hose is clear, the standpipe itself is likely clogged with lint and soap. rain and older housing stock mean corroded fittings and slow drains show up often In Grants Pass, a pro can clear the branch line.
The machine pump
