Cleaning the Drain Pump Filter

 

 

Your Washer is equipped with a 

fi

 lter that helps prevent excess

lint and foreign objects like buttons, keys, and coins from

causing damage to the pump. If the washer fails to drain

properly, unplug the washer and allow the water to cool, if

necessary, before proceeding.

1.   

Open the drain pump 

fi

 lter access panel.

     

Unclip the drain hose and pull it out. Place the end   

     of the drain hose into a shallow pan or a 

fl

 oor   

     drain. Make sure not to pull the hose out too far, or  

     it may not drain properly.

   

   Remove the plug from the drain hose, and allow the  

      water to drain completely.

NOTE:

 If there is a large amount of water in the drum, 

you may have to empty your container several times.

     

Twist the pump 

fi

 lter counterclockwise to remove.   

     Remove any lint and foreign objects from the pump 

     

fi

 lter. Insert pump 

fi

 lter back into opening and twist     

     clockwise to secure. Be sure to close the drain pump   

     

fi

 lter access panel.
