Normally, the water rises 4 ft through the hose to the drain, but now I have to remove the hose from the drain and lower it (not necessarily below the water line) to get it to drain the washer. I have checked all appropriate hoses and there are no obstructions. Also, the pump does run and the impeller is moving (checked visually). Any ideas on what to do to fix it? Or is this a lost cause?
