Cleaning the Drain Pump Filter

Your Washer is equipped with a filter 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 filter access panel.
Drain Hose
2. Unclip the drain hose and pull it out. Place the end of the
drain hose into a shallow pan or a floor drain. Use care not to
pull the hose out too far or it may not drain properly.

4. Twist the pump filter counterclockwise to remove. Remove
any lint and foreign objects from the pump filter.
Reverse the procedures described in the steps above to
