Drain fault — water not pumped out in time

Open the lower front flap, set out towels and a shallow pan, and slowly unscrew the Hisense drain filter to release trapped water
Clear lint, coins, and hair from the filter housing and feel inside for a jammed pump impeller
Straighten the drain hose and confirm the standpipe height sits within the range in the manual
Run a spin-and-drain and listen, since a pump humming with no flow has a jammed or failed impeller
Replace the drain pump if it is silent or the impeller spins freely without moving water
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Hisense washers will not advance to spin until the drain completes, so an E2 that clears after a filter clean but returns within a few washes usually means a partly failed pump that still moves some water when cold.
