Chosen Solution
When I run my washing machine, it will get hung up when it is time to drain. The machine will have a buzzing sound and the water will not drain. Sometimes I will get a DRN error code. If I reset the machine, sometimes that works and it will drain. Other times I will have to reset it multiple times before it works. Sometimes I can run 10 loads of laundry and it never has an issue. I took it apart, cleaned the hose, pump looked good. Had a repairman look at it, he also said the pump was good. Any help?
@teamnate I am somewhat surprised by the action of the repairman. There are issues with the pressure dome obstruction that can cause the DRN error. A technical bulletin on how to check and fix this was published. Check it out and see if that resolves your issue. Of course, you also want to use a Shopvac and blow air through the pump into the drum to clear any obstruction between the tub and the pump. Just in case… Here is the service bulletin Maytag Top Load Washer DRN Error
01 - Drain Pump Sometimes, small objects or articles of clothing can get caught in the drain pump. To determine if anything is blocking the drain pump, remove the drain pump and check the pump for obstructions. If the drain pump is clear of obstructions, but is still noisy during the drain cycle, replace the drain pump. 02 - Clogged Pump or Hose Sometimes, socks and other small articles of clothing can get into the drain system and clog the pump hose or the pump itself. Remove the hoses from the pump and check for any obstructions. 03 - Drain Hose First, check the drain hose to determine if it is kinked, twisted, or bent. If the drain hose is bent, straighten it out. In addition, remove the drain hose and check it for obstructions. If the drain hose has any obstructions, try to remove them. If necessary, replace the drain hose. https://www.repairclinic.com/RepairHelp/… UPDATE These are the most likely causes and solutions for a drn error code: Clogs: A blocked drain hose can prevent proper draining. Consult your user manual to determine how to disconnect the drain hose. Look for visible clogs and remove them before reconnecting the hose.Kinks: If the drain hose is kinked, it can limit the flow of water. Gently straighten any apparent kinks. If the hose is damaged as a result of kinking, it needs to be replaced.Incorrect installation: If the drain hose isn’t installed correctly, it won’t drain properly. Check your user manual to confirm that the installation is correct. Make sure the hose doesn’t extend more than 4.5″ into the standpipe and that its end is 36-96 inches above the floor.
