How to remove the filter correctly

Each washing machine is equipped with two special filters, which perform the main function of purifying water from impurities and preventing foreign objects from entering the tank. For the proper functioning of the equipment, it is necessary to regularly remove debris from the filter screens. Owners of washing machines are advised to familiarize themselves with the operation of electrical equipment in advance in order to clean the filter in the washing machine on their own in the event of an unexpected breakdown of the appliance. If a serious breakdown occurs, it is better to invite a home repair specialist.

Formed n limescale and debris clog waterways, and chloride deposits from hard water will not dissolve on their own. Blockages destroy the unit, and sometimes lead to serious breakdowns, which can be avoided by timely maintenance of the washing machine.

The part is cleaned in the following way:

1. 1. Place the filter under running hot water.
2. 2. In cases of heavy contamination, it is necessary to soak the part in hot water for several hours, adding citric acid. This method of cleaning will get rid of limescale and unpleasant odors.
3. 3. Can be cleaned with an old toothbrush.
4. 4. After flushing the part, you need to remove the dirt from the hole where the filter was located.
5. 5. Insert the filter grill into the seat and close the lid.

A second filler filter is provided in the design of the washing equipment. This is a metal mesh that is installed on the inlet hose at the entrance to the machine near the water supply valve. With the help of this grate, rough water purification from impurities occurs.

If the water pressure is low when filling the washing machine, it may be necessary to clean the inlet filter element. To do this, you should:

1. 1. Turn off the water and turn off the water tap, then unscrew and remove the clean water supply hose.
2. 2. After unscrewing the inlet hose, remove the mesh: take pliers, clamp the filter, gently rotating in a circle, pull the mesh out of the hose.
3. 3. Thoroughly rinse the filter under running water.
4. 4. Put the sieve cleaned of dirt back into place.

If the dirt accumulations are not cleared, then it is recommended to replace the mesh with a new one. The connected hose, after installing the mesh, must be checked for leaks. After all the steps of cleaning the filter, turn on the electrical appliance and check the water supply.

The decorative strip is installed over the lower hooks of the respective target holes. Then it is necessary to press the entire plane in order to trigger the upper latches. Leakage of water at the joints is not allowed, the check is carried out when the water supply tap is opened. If a leak is found, tighten the nut or replace the rubber gasket.

The secret of the drain device

If the panel is being removed for the first time, special care should be taken. Many washing machines are equipped with latches that open by sliding the panel sideways. There may be other latches that secure the panel with pivoting hooks, so the panel of the machine can be removed only after careful inspection.

Before removing the plastic panel, you will need to place a low tray-type container under it to drain the remaining water there, and you can also use a thick large rag to absorb moisture. Some models of machines are equipped with thin hoses through which the remaining water is drained, in which case a plug is installed on them.

If there is a drain hose, you need to free it from the plug, get rid of the remaining water, it can be drained into a container, and the hose can be closed with a plug. If there is no drain hose, then spread a rag under the pump filter, which will absorb moisture. Unscrew the plug counterclockwise. If the plug is fixed with a bolt, then it must first be unscrewed. When the water has poured out, you can remove the panel.

The plug on which the filter is fixed must be pulled out. Illuminate the space inside the branch pipe with a lantern and remove any dirt from there. Insert the drain filter into the slot and screw to prevent it from loosening. The decorative panel, after cleaning, is put in place, the hatch is closed.

Timely filter cleaning is a must for a clogged washing machine. If you periodically, at least twice a year, clean the filter from debris, as written in the instructions, then the washing machine will work without problems for a long time.
