Manual Draining and Filter Removal

Service Tip:
Even if the appliance does not appear to have water inside the drum
area, typically 2 quarts of water can still be drained from the appliance
via the Manual Drain. Always have a suitable container ready for the
water.
1. Open the Filter Access Door.
2. Place a suitable container underneath the Drain Tube.
3. Turn the Filter Cap counter clockwise 2 - 3 times. Do not completely
remove the filter.
Service Tip:
In the event the container being used becomes filled, simply tighten the
filter (clockwise) to stop the water flow. And repeat steps 2-3 until no
more water drains from the tube.
Once the water stops flowing...
5. Continue turning the filter counterclockwise to remove.
6. Clean out any foreign objects or lint from the filter.
7. Check that the Drain Pump Impeller (in the back of the chamber)
rotates freely by spinning with your hand.
8. Remove any detergent deposits, excess water etc...
9. Ensure the filter threads are clean, and place filter into position and
secure by turning clockwise.
Service Tip:
On model W1930i use the Drain Hose and Stopper,
located in the plinth area to manually drain the
washer.
Caution!
Water drains from the hose immediately when the plug
is removed. Pinch hose / connect the Stopper to stop the water flow.
