Cleaning the drain pump
Occasionally, small objects (buttons,
coins, etc.) may become trapped in the
lint trap. If the machine does not drain
completely, the lint trap should be
checked to ensure that it is free of
foreign objects.
^
Turn off the appliance with the
"On/Off" button.
^
To clean the lint trap, remove the tool
from behind the detergent dispenser
drawer.
^
Open the drain filter door.
If the main drain hose is clogged, water
will be retained in the machine (a
maximum amount of 6.5 gal [25 l]).
,
Caution: If laundry has been
washed at a high temperature, the
water draining out of the machine
will still be hot! Allow it to cool before
proceeding.
^ Turn the lint trap lid counterclockwise.
Do not remove it. About 2 quarts of
water will drain out of the hose.
If additional water remains in the
machine, tighten the lint trap lid and
empty the container. Repeat this
procedure as often as necessary.
