Washers: Won't drain

Drain pump access requires removing back cover, 2 clamps, cover pump, 2 pins, and 13 base screws — more extensive than some models.

Items commonly found blocking drain pump ASSY include rubber bands, bills, cotton, hair pins, and coins. Always check pump for foreign material during drain error diagnosis.

A separate nozzle sprays water equally so the rinse cycle is effective even with a small amount of water. This improves water efficiency.
