Cleaning the drain pump and
lint trap

Occasionally small objects (buttons,
coins, etc.), may find their way into the
lint trap. If the machine does not drain
completely, the lint trap should be
checked to ensure that it is free of for-
eign objects.

^ To clean the lint trap, remove the tool

from behind the detergent dispenser
drawer.

^ Open the lint trap door.

^ Place a 2 quart capacity container

underneath the drain tube.

^ Turn the lint trap lid counterclockwise

2 - 3 times. Do

not

remove it. About

2 quarts of water will drain out of the
hose.

If the main drain hose is clogged, more
water will be retained in the machine

(max. 6.5 gal)

. In this case, tighten the

lint trap lid and empty the container be-
fore repeating the procedure as often
as necessary.

,

Caution: If the laundry has been

washed at a high temperature, the
water draining out of the machine
will still be hot! Stop and allow it to
cool before proceeding.
