Why my washing machine won't drain?

I have electrolux ewf1087 (bought in Nov 2006) and it won't drain since yesterday, then I tried to open the drainage tube even the drainage hose, I checked the pump was working but there is no water come out.
then I leave the water inside the washing machine overnight, in the morning I check it the water is gone.
then I try to run the washing machine again.. it running until it want to drain then stuck again... :(
does anyone have a tips to handle this kind of problem?
thanks in advance for your help

I had the same problem, either it didn't drain at all or it would error out after a short time of doing it.

If you unhooked the grey drainage tube at the back from its top hook this will happen, the tube needs to be elevated about 2+ feet off the ground if you unhooked it, otherwise this will happen.

My only other suggestion is to check it for leaks.
