Cleaning the drain pump and
lint trap
The lint trap generally will require clean-
ing only if small items are frequently left
in pockets, or if objects containing long
fibers or hair (Afghans, dog blankets,
etc.) are often washed.
To clean this filter: Remove the tool
from behind the detergent dispenser
drawer.
Open the lint trap door.
Place a 2 litre (2 quart) capacity dish
underneath the drain tube.
Turn the lint trap lid counterclockwise
2-3 times. Do not remove it.
Approx. 2 litres (2 quarts) of water
will drain out of the hose.
If the main drain hose is clogged, more
water will remain in the machine (max.
25 l or 5.5 gal.). In this case, tighten the
lint trap lid and empty the dish before
repeating the procedure as often as
necessary.
Caution: if laundry has been
washed at a high temperature, the
water draining out of the machine
will still be hot! Stop and allow it to
cool before proceeding.
