INSPECTION HOLES UNDER DRUM PADDLES
If you think that an item such as a nail, paper-
clip, hair clip or the like has fallen through the
wash drum you should inspect the outer drum
through the inspection holes in the paddles.
Items such as this can rust and produce stains
on clothes. Nails and other sharp items could
tear clothes.
Do as follows
1. Use a screwdriver or similar tool.
2. Insert the screwdriver
through the hole in
the middle of the
paddle and lever
the handle of the
screwdriver gently
to the left.
3. Grasp the rear edge of
the paddle cover
with your other
hand and pull it
towards you as
shown.
4. Lift off the paddle cover.
5. Examine the space between the inner and
outer drum as you turn the inner drum. Rem-
ove any items you see.
6. Engage the paddle cover in its locating holes
with the F marking nearest you. Make sure that
all the clips engage in their holes in the drum.
