Drain pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if
•the machine does not empty and/or spin
•the machine makes an unusual noise
during draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.
Proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the appliance.
2.If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.
3. Open the pump door.
4. Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage.
5.Release the emergency emptying hose,
place it in the container and remove its cap.
6. When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when removing the pump.
7. Remove any objects from the pump impeller by rotating it.
