If the Kenmore washer model 417-6171 only partly drains, follow these steps to perform a proper drain cycle:
1. Check the drain hose: Make sure it is not kinked or clogged. Clean and straighten it if necessary.
2. Inspect the house drain pipes: Ensure they are not clogged. If they are, unclog them or contact a plumber.
3. Ensure correct standpipe height: The drain hose standpipe must be at least 33 inches (83.82 cm) high to prevent siphoning.
4. Do not bypass the lid lock: If water remains in the tub after the wash cycle and the lid lock malfunctions, do not attempt to bypass it. Contact a qualified service dealer.
After resolving these issues, restart the washer and select a drain and spin cycle to complete drainage.
