Previous answer & advice will not work for a smartdrive machine. Drain hose exits cabinet too high up for water to flow out. You can remove door panel down low on front right of this machine. In behind you will see drain pump. Turn pump fan propellor backward & forward a few times. If it starts to move freely then put machine on final spin & press start. Hopefully the pump will keep running & clear the blockage.
