If you notice that your washing machine does not drain or pour water, it's time to clean the filters.
In the Samsung washers there are two filters - a drain and a jar. Both perform a protective function, protecting the AGR from getting garbage during washing or when taking water. Their timely cleaning allows the machine to function normally, and also to avoid more serious malfunctions that may require repair.
Function of filters and their location
Before cleaning, you need to find out where the filters are located in the Samsung washing machine. Also we will understand, by what signs it is possible to understand, that there was a blockage.
The input filter is clogged if:
- After the program is started, the water is taken very long.
- The sticker will give out a trouble code after trying to fill the tank.
In such cases, cleaning the input filter of a Samsung washing machine is a must.
It is located at the junction of the inlet hose and the valve. The flap of a fine mesh effectively detains small particles that are in tap water.
How to understand that there was a clog in the drain filter for garbage in the Samsung washing machine:
- Water after washing merges long and slowly.
- The waste water does not drain at all.
- When an attempt is made to drain, the eraser displays an error code.
All these signs may indicate clogging. Therefore, it is important to understand how to open, as well as clean the filter in a washing machine Samsung. It is he who detains the pile, hair, small parts and objects during the discharge of waste water.
Please note that a strong drain plug can lead to malfunctions in the operation of the drain pump, so do not over tighten with cleaning. It is recommended to conduct it once every three to four months.
