Cleaning the drain pump and lint trap
Occasionally small objects (buttons, coins, etc.), may find their way into the lint trap. If the machine does not drain completely, the lint trap should be checked to ensure that it is free of for- eign objects.
^To clean the lint trap, remove the tool from behind the detergent dispenser drawer.
^Open the lint trap door.
^Place a 2 quart capacity container underneath the drain tube.
^Turn the lint trap lid counterclockwise 2 - 3 times. Do not remove it. About
2 quarts of water will drain out of the hose.
If the main drain hose is clogged, more water will be retained in the machine (max. 6.5 gal). In this case, tighten the lint trap lid and empty the container be- fore repeating the procedure as often as necessary.
,Caution: If the laundry has been washed at a high temperature, the water draining out of the machine will still be hot! Stop and allow it to cool before proceeding.
