CLEANING THE DRAIN PUMP
WARNING
RISK OF SCALDING
Risk of hot water injury to skin!
You are responsible for ensuring all safety
precautions are followed when draining water
from the appliance and/or manually opening
the appliance door.
It may be necessary to clean the appliance
drain pump if the appliance fails to drain
(sound of the water being pumped from the
appliance cannot be heard when the appliance
should be draining and other nearby drains,
such as a sink, are draining properly).
The appliance pump can become blocked by
loose debris (a good reason to check the drum
and remove any visible debris after each load).
Fabrics that give off large amounts of fluff may
also cause blockage.
To access the appliance drain pump, the
service cover must first be opened (see steps
below). With the service cover opened,
proceed as follows:
1. If the appliance has not been drained, try
to drain it now. Firstly turn the wash cycle
selector knob to select the Spin program,
press the SPEED button to set the Spin
program off ( "－－" shown on the digital
display), then press the START/PAUSE
button. Wait a few moments to let the
pump drain the water from the drum. If the
pump is totally blocked, the water will be
unable to drain and the cycle will end.
2. Shut off the tap so that no more water flows
in and has to be drained. Switch the
appliance off. Unplug the power plug.
3. Open the drain filter cover.
4. Use the pull-out drain hose located in the
pump access opening to drain the
remaining water into a suitable container
(up to 5.3U.S.gallon/20 liters of water may
be drained). Pull the sealing cap from the
hose and lay the hose over the side of the
container and allow the water to finish
draining from the drum. When finished,
replace the sealing cap into the end of the
hose and restore the hose to its storage
location.
5. Turn the pump cover counterclockwise to
remove it. A small amount of residual water
may flow out when the cover is removed.
Clean the interior of the pump hosing,
removing any debris or foreign objects. Check
to be sure the impeller where at the back of the
pump housing can now turn freely. Remove
any lint, debris or detergent residue from the
threads of the pump cover and the pump cover
housing. Reinstall the pump cover by screwing
tightly into position. Handle must be vertically.
6. Close the drain filter cover. Wipe up any
spilled water.
