Blocked Drains Lincoln

As a homeowner in Lincolnshire, maintaining your washing machine's drain pump filter is crucial to ensure it runs efficiently and effectively. A clogged filter can lead to poor drainage, slow washing cycles, and even bad smells. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we've put together a simple guide on how to clean the drain pump filter in your washing machine.

The drain pump filter is a small but essential component of your washing machine. Its primary function is to catch debris, lint, and other particles that can clog the drain hose and cause problems. Over time, the filter can become clogged, reducing the machine's performance and potentially causing damage.

The first step is to locate the drain pump filter in your washing machine. This is usually found at the bottom of the machine, near the drain hose. Please consult your user manual or manufacturer's instructions if you're unsure where to find it.

Once you've located the filter, you'll need to remove it. This is usually done by twisting and pulling the filter out of its housing. Be prepared for any water that may spill out during this process.

Now that you've removed the filter, it's time to clean it. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove any debris, lint, or other particles that may be clogging the filter. You can also soak the filter in warm water to help loosen any stubborn blockages.

While you have the filter removed, take a moment to check the drain pump for any blockages. Use a small brush or cloth to clean out any debris that may be accumulated.

Once you've cleaned the filter and pump, reassemble the machine and check that everything is working properly. Run a test cycle to ensure that the machine is draining correctly and that there are no leaks.
