Cleaning the Pump Filter
Due to the nature of the front-load washer,
it is sometimes possible for small articles
to pass to the pump. The washer has a
filter to capture lost items so they are not
dumped to the drain. To retrieve lost items,
clean out the pump filter.
1. Using a small flathead screwdriver,
open the access door.
2. Place a shallow pan or dish under
the pump access door and towels
on the floor in front of the washer to
protect the floor. It is normal to catch
about a cup of water when the filter
is removed.
3. Pull down the pour spout.
4. Turn the pump filter counterclockwise
and remove the filter slowly, controlling
the flow of the draining water.
5. Remove the filter and clean the debris
from the filter.
6. Replace the filter and turn clockwise.
Tighten securely.
7. Flip up the pour spout.
8. Close the access door by hooking the
bottom tabs first, then rotating the
access door shut.
Cleaning the Door Gasket
Open the washer door. Using both hands,
press down the door gasket. Remove any
foreign objects if found trapped inside
the gasket. Make sure there is nothing
blocking the holes behind the gasket.
While holding down the door gasket,
inspect the interior gasket by pulling it
down with your fingers. Remove any
foreign objects if found trapped inside
this gasket. Make sure there is nothing
blocking the holes behind the gasket.
When you are finished cleaning
the door gasket, remove your
hands and the gasket will return
to the operating position.
