Clean EVERY MONTH to remove any items
that may have been caught in the filter or
housing.
Due to the nature of the front-load washer, it is
sometimes possible for small articles to pass to
the pump. The washer has a filter to capture lost
items so they are not dumped to the drain. To
retrieve lost items, clean out the pump filter.
1.
Using a small flat-head screw-driver or coin,
open the access door.
2. Place a shallow pan or dish under the pump
access door and towels on the floor in front of
the washer to protect the floor. It is normal to
catch about a cup of water when the filter is
removed.
3. Pull down the pour spout.
4.
Turn the pump filter counter-clockwise (CCW)
and remove the filter slowly, controlling the
flow of the draining water.
5.
Remove the filter and clean the debris from
the filter.
6.
Replace the filter and turn clockwise (CW).
Tighten securely.
7. Flip up the pour spout.
8. Close the access door by hooking the bottom
tabs first, then rotating the access door shut.
