As a final step in your washing machine maintenance routine, it’s crucial to clean the filter every 4-6 weeks. Here’s how:

1. Locate the Filter:

  • The filter is typically situated at the bottom of your washing machine. You may need to remove a small cover to access it.

2. Prepare for Leakage:

  • When removing the cover, expect some water to leak out. Lay down towels to protect your floor and prevent spillage.

3. Unscrew and Drain:

  • Unscrew the filter to allow any trapped water to flow out. This step helps prevent blockages and maintains optimal machine performance.

4. Clean the Filter:

  • Remove the filter and rinse it thoroughly under hot water to remove debris and buildup.
  • Allow the filter to dry completely before reattaching it.

5. Securely Reattach:

  • Screw the filter back onto the washing machine tightly to prevent leaks.
  • Replace the cover securely.

By incorporating this regular maintenance task into your washing machine care routine, you’ll ensure efficient performance and prolong the lifespan of your appliance.
