We recommend cleaning the debris filter when water does not drain well or the "5E" error message is displayed.
1. Unplug the washing machine from the power supply.
2. Gently press the top area of the filter cover to open.
3. Holding the drain cap, pull the drain tube that
is hooked on the guide hook to the front. Do
not pull the drain tube with excessive force.
4. Place a bowl under the washing machine to
catch any remaining water. Then, hold the
drain tube with one hand, and turn the drain
cap counter clockwise with the other hand to
separate it from the drain tube.
5. Drain the remaining water completely.
6. Turn the debris cap counterclockwise, and then pull
the debris cap and debris filter assembly out of the
washer.
7. Wash any dirt or other material from the
debris filter. Make sure the drain pump
propeller behind the debris filter is not
blocked.
8. When you have finished cleaning the filter, insert the debris
cap and filter assembly back into the washer. Turn the
debris filter cap clockwise until the indicator on the debris
filter cap is in the 12 o'clock position, pointing to the
indicator on the washer.
9. Re-attach the emergency drain cap to the drain tube, and
then hook the tube to the hook guide.
10. Re-install the filter cover.

• To open, push in, and then turn the safety filter cap
counterclockwise. The spring in the cap will make

turn the cap, the spring will make a rattling sound. The
rattling sound is normal.
