Why does a washer drain at the same time it is filling?
Question:
Answers:
No. It fills again after it drains because otherwise, the clean water is going to mix with all the dirty water. Then your clothes won't be as clean.
The washer drains as it fills because it is removing dirty water as it replaces the clean....hence.WASHING the clothes
if you are laying the drain hose down on floor,this would be incorrect. should be upright with a drain tube available for washer drain hose to hook or hang into.
Reduces excess suds that collect toward the middle as the clothes spin. The centrifical force promotes the water (lighter than suds) draining as it spins and then the brief spray of water removes the superficial sudsing agents (detergents). It could also be a way to more evenly distribute fabric softener that is released during the spin cycle.
The only time it is supposed to , is during the rinse cycle to get soap out of the clothes. If it drains while it is filling, the drain hose may be airlocked and all you have to do is pull it out and reinstall it, loosely. http://appliancequickfix.com/

The drain hose is too far down the stand pipe or the stand pipe is too short. The end of the drain hose needs to be above the high water level in the washer. There also needs to be slight air space between the hose and the stand pipe. It's a siphon issue.
