Cleaning the Drain Pump/Draining
Residual Water (on some models)
IMPORTANT: Make sure the washer is off before cleaning the
drain pump filter.
NOTE: Perform the following procedure occasionally.
1. Open the dispenser drawer by pulling on the handle at the
base of the washer. This will reveal the drain pump filter.
Remove the drawer by releasing the tab on each side.
With your finger, push down on tab on right side of drawer,
and up on tab on left side of drawer.
2. Place a broad, flat container beneath the drain pump filter to
collect the drain water. Release the black hose from the hose
clip, remove the plug, and drain the hose into the container.
Empty the container. Repeat this procedure if necessary until
all the water has drained. Make sure that the black hose is
completely dry, replace the plug, and secure the hose in the
clip.
NOTE: If water does not drain well, push in hose slightly to
remove any possible kinks.
3. Lay a cotton cloth beneath the drain pump filter to absorb any
water still in it. Then remove the drain pump filter by turning it
counterclockwise.
4. Remove large clumps of lint by hand from the filter and place
lint in a suitable waste container. Remove remaining residue
from the filter by rinsing with water.
5. Reinsert the drain pump filter by turning it clockwise. Make
sure to turn it in as far as it will go, with the filter handle
remaining as close as possible to the vertical position.
6. Replace and close the dispenser drawer. Make sure to insert
both rails simultaneously when replacing the drawer. You will
hear a clicking sound that indicates the rails have engaged. To
ensure proper placement of the drawer, pull out fully. The
drawer should be fully engaged and the rails locked in place.
Make sure the drain hose is secured in the hose clip and
tucked underneath the cutout.
