Cleaning the drain pump

9WARNING

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.
