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.
