Cleaning the Drain Pump Filter
Lint and other objects may accumulate and clog
the drain pump filter. If the washer fails to drain
properly, unplug the washer and allow the water
to cool, if necessary, before proceeding.
Open the drain pump filter access panel. 1 Unclip the drain hose and pull it out. Place
the end of the drain hose in a pan, bucket, or
floor drain to catch the water.
2
Remove the plug from the drain hose, and
allow the water to drain completely.
Twist the pump filter counterclockwise to
remove. Remove any lint and foreign objects
from the pump filter.
Reverse the above steps to reinstall the drain
pump filter and drain hose. Be sure to close
the cover panel when finished.
