Cleaning the drain pump

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.
