Cleaning the Drain Pump Filter

The 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.

Unclip the drain hose and pull it out. Place the end
of the drain hose into a shallow pan or a floor

it may not drain properly.

water to drain completely.

you may have to empty your container several times.

Remove any lint and foreign objects from the pump
