How to clean the drain filter

Check if the faucet is turned on.
Make sure that the cold and hot water hoses are connected properly and that the water hoses are not kinked.
If the faucet is open and the water hose is installed correctly, take out the drain filter and clean it thoroughly.

Note!
A large amount of water can spill onto the floor when cleaning the drain filter.
Before opening the pump cap, check beforehand to see if there is hot water inside the washer tub.
Hot water from the washer can cause burn injuries.
Warning!

Be cautious if the floor is a hardwood floor.

➔ If it is okay for water to spill onto the floor

1. When you open the machine's front cover on the lower left, there will be a large stopper and a residual water hose. (Some models have it on the right side of the service cover)

2. Turn the large stopper to the left to open and remove any water and foreign objects.
It is not necessary to pull out the residual water hose.

3. Reassemble the filter after cleaning it. (Make sure to close the large stopper completely to avoid leaks.)

4. Close the service cover.
