Where to look for a filter in a washing machine LG

In the service centers say that many users, seeking repair, do not even know where the drainage or drain filter is located. If you do not know where the element is, then no one thought of cleaning it.

In CM brand LG, it is located in the lower right corner of the front panel. It hides a small technical hatch.

The lid can be opened without any tools or devices, just by picking up your fingers. Under the lid is nothing special, only 2 details:

1. Round "cork".
2. Thin hose for emergency draining of water.

If the blockage is associated with stopping the machine during washing, use a hose:

1. Place a container to collect water.
2. Remove a small but tightly fitted plug from the hose.
3. Wait for the water to merge (and the process is not fast).

To remove the so-called dustbin, you need to unscrew the plug. The task is easy, tools and efforts will not be needed. But we will tell you in detail how to remove the filter on the washing machine LG, so that everything went perfectly.

So even to such a nonsense task as cleaning the drain filter, it is necessary to take prudence and prepare for this. Follow our advice:

1. Stiralka must be disconnected from the network. Not necessarily, but just in case.
2. Near the machine should not lie anything that can get wet.
3. Stock up with "helpers" - sponges, rags, basin. Anything that can help to collect water poured from the hole.
4. Slightly tilt the body of the CM, lifting the front legs, - there and then place the rags or replace the basin.
5. Additionally, enclose your "place of operation" with rags and you can start cleaning.

Cleaning

To clean properly started, roll up the sleeves - and you can unscrew the filter. Usually this is not worth any effort - just unscrew the cork to the left, pull it slightly. But if you do not unscrew the filter, do not panic - just try to make it stronger. If the cork is slippery, wrap it with a rag or wear gloves.

If nothing helped, then the blockage is serious. But you still need to remove and clean the filter, so try to unscrew it in all possible ways.

• If the scum is already on the inside, then use the classic method: cleaning with citric acid. Dissolve in a small container of 50 grams of acid and lower the filter to sour for 6-8 hours. It will clear both the scale and the old dirt.
• Examine the hole in which the filter was located. In it, too, can be nemereno dirt and debris. You can shine a flashlight there. Wipe in the hole everything you get with your own hands. In principle, at this point, the cleaning ends.
• Screw in a clean filter. Remove the basins and rags, make sure the body is sealed and run a test wash.
