Cleaning the drain pump and
lint trap
Occasionally, small objects (buttons,
coins, etc.) may become trapped in the
lint trap. If the machine does not drain
completely, the lint trap should be
checked to ensure that it is free of
foreign objects.
^ Turn off the appliance with the "On /
Off" button.
^ To clean the lint trap, remove the tool
from behind the detergent dispenser
drawer.
^ Open the access panel.

Caution: If laundry has been
washed at a high temperature, the
water draining out of the machine
will still be hot! Allow it to cool before
proceeding.
^ Turn the lint trap lid
counterclockwise. Do not remove it.
About 2 quarts (2 liters) of water will
drain out of the hose.
If the main drain hose is clogged, water
will be retained in the machine (a
maximum amount of 6.5 gal [25 l]).
If additional water remains in the
machine, tighten the lint trap lid and
empty the container. Repeat this
procedure as often as necessary.
