It is located almost at the bottom of the washing machine and is hidden behind a small door, where you can remove the filter yourself and clean it, if it helps, you will not need repair.

    How often to clean the dirt in the washing machine?

    Most people do not even have a clue that it needs to be cleaned from accumulated dirt every month, as a result of this pump breaks washing machine or washing machine is leaking. You can do this with three access options:

    1. There are washing machines in which the device does not provide a filter. In this option, it is required to gain access to the pump and its nozzles from the middle of the SMA and clean the littered area.

    2. The filter can be hidden behind a small hatch door, which is closed very tightly and is opened simply by hand or something thin, it is removed by twisting it counterclockwise.

    3. Behind the rectangular panel, it is attached with swivel hooks or latches.In the first variant, the hooks must be plunged into a horizontal position, in the second, the latches should be slowly and carefully unbent, while excluding them from engagement. In some models of washing machines, the latches are excluded from engagement by a side shift. The filter is pulled out in the same way.

    At times it happens that the filter, in addition to the mounting thread, is additionally stuck with a locking screw. The ego must be unscrewed, only then the filter must be turned out directly. If such a procedure has not been done for a long time, twisting may be very difficult. The force must be controlled so as not to destroy the filter itself. A very tight version is best accessed from the side of the pump and nozzles.

    When there is scale on the thread, then get it, it just won’t work. Here you need to remove it entirely with a “snail” and improvised tools to crack it from the seat in order to put a newly made filter or you will need to change it together with the snail.

    To clean it, you need to bend the SMA back, put a flat container under the hatch. Carefully unscrew the filter, little by little drain the water, then completely remove and free it from layers of debris.

    Some of the dirt may remain in the filter placement hole. This can be revealed by lighting the hole with a flashlight. The ego must be cleaned, and then put the filter in its original position and test the SMA in the drain mode.

    The dirtiest and clogged filters may not come out. In a similar episode, it is possible to get to him from the middle, after which you will need to change the pump at an affordable price.

    Cheaper CMAs do not have a pump filter at their disposal. To eliminate blockages in them, it is necessary to remove the whole wall of the washing machine in order to find and clean them.
