3. Reconnect the hose to the tap.
Clean the strainers at the washer end of the hose
1. Remove the hose from the inlet on the back of the
washer.

the inlet port.
3. Rinse the strainer under running water.
4. Reconnect the hose to the back of the washer and

Cleaning the drain pump
9 WARNING
RISK OF SCALDING
Risk of hot water injury to skin!
Allow the water to cool down prior to actuating the
emergency door lock release.
Caution, you are responsible for ensuring the safety
of doing so. The water in the drum may be very hot
and may pose a scald risk. Also, the drum may be
full of water.
It may be necessary to clean the washer drain pump if
the washer fails to drain (sound of water being pumped
from the washer cannot be heard when the washer
should be draining and other nearby drains, such as a
sink, are draining properly).
The washer 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 washer drain pump, the service cover
must first be removed (see steps below). With the service
cover removed, proceed as follows:
1. If the washer has not been drained, try to drain it now.
Turn the cycle selector to the Spin/Drain cycle, select
No spin and press the Start/Pause button. Wait a few
moments to let the cycle 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 and remove the service cover.
4. Loosen the screws and remove the protective film.
