Any tips on how to remove a coin stuck in the pipe to the left? It’s too large to fit through the hole so it would have to be taken out from the other side somehow.

Okay before i cleaned it, my machine used to make a noise before starting a cycle... now it just buzzes & hums... is there a problem? I drained the water and cleaned the filter

[@anaisgh12]

What if there’s a large item stuck inside. I found a key that’s too big to even fit to pull it out.

[@Homerandmel]

Same here. Did you have any luck with this?

How do you get rid of a fabric stuck inside the tiny hole on the left inside that drain pump filter? I can feel it with my finger but I just can't reach it

[@upashna1287]

I have the exact problem i can feel the cloth stuck but cant pull it off from the left side .

Hi can you show us how to get rid of bad egg smell when machine drains? Cheers

[@simonehudson9727]

I did this. Same issue. The washing machine is just draining even though there is no water in there.

I've tried this and so far filled 8 bowls of water... its endless is there something wrong? How much water should there be?

[@ApplianceFault]

If the machine got stuck during the cycle, all the water that's in the drum will come out. Depending on the cycle, there can be up to 8-10 liters of water. I usually recommend to check the filter at least once in 3 months to prevent the filter or pump from getting blocked.

@@ApplianceFault thank you. I gave up emptying it. I tried another spin cycle and that seemed to do the trick.

[@ApplianceFault]

if it drained on it's own, try to drain it through the small drain tube, there should be only about a glass of water left when it's empty. and then open the filter to see if there is anything stuck in it.

@@ApplianceFault thanks I'll give it a try. I appreciate your help! ☺

The clean drain code is still there after cleaning the drain. Will it go away on it's own?
