There are several things that could be causing a washer not to drain. The first and most simple explanation would be a clog in the hose. Another reason could be the latch to the lid is not closing tightly and therefore not allowing the washer to spin and drain. It could also be a broken belt or pump.

What causes washing machine water to spew onto floor when emptying?

Check the large drain hose from the washer to the drain pipe when it is draining. You have to look see and find if the water leak is coming from the washer, drain hose, or a clogged up drain pipe. Can you you do me this small favor?. You may need a flash light and the agility to look behind the washer and get to where you can observe these three most common possible causes as they occur. Don't wait too long to find this problem or you may need some new flooring or sub flooring to go along with the washer repair.

What causes drainage problems when the washing machine is draining in the laundry room?

If your washer is the only place you are having drainage problems, it sounds like the drainage hose is stopped up. This can be due to a large collection of lint, or a sock or stocking (or other small item), could have gotten into the hose. Turn off the water and the power to the washer, then disconnect the drainage hose and clear it out, then see if that works.

What would cause a sewer gas smell in the spare bathroom only when the washer drains?

Without knowing more of your situation, let me speculate: The draining of the washer happens quickly. The draining water causes a vacuum in the line which then sucks the water out of the trap(s) in the other fixtures. This lack of water seal allows sewer gas to enter the house. This could be caused by an improperly installed fixture, one perhaps installed by a homeowner or Mr. FixIt that did not appreciate the necessity for properly venting a fixture. A quick fix might be a Studor Vent. These are not approved in all locations-check your codes.
