remove the front lower kick panel in case the drain filter is blocked, clean the blockage if not blocked follow the drain hose back into the rear of the machine remove any panel that's in the way once removed should see pump, remove the pump ,then remove the pump body clean inside reassemble see if any improvement a replacement pump maybe required
