For three whole years I was going and now it happened. I cleaned the filter of the washing machine while I am sitting at home. I show you how to do it

Soon my typewriter will be five years old, and during this time I have never, imagine, never cleaned it. And this is fraught with breakdown and expensive repairs. But now it happened, I am sitting at home like many readers. There is really nothing to do, just clean the washing machine.

Knowing that in my previous washing machine, the drain pump was located on the front side, it was useful to open the front cover. She snapped off well. And what was my surprise, there was nothing there.

Scroll through the gallery, enjoy your viewing.

If in your case there was a cork under this lid, you can safely unscrew it, having previously prepared a flat container and rags to absorb water. A liter of water will pour out of the washer. Debris usually accumulates under the cover, remove it, and mount the cover back.

I was curious, where is the filter on my washing machine? To do this, you need to find a drain pump. I was not too lazy and took off the side sheets. But to my surprise, there was no quick-release lid on the drain to clean out debris...

I fell into a stupor, at that moment it dawned on me that the filter was on the drum itself... Well, stupid, I thought to myself.

In order to get to the mesh in the drum body, you need to open the lid, for this we press on the "tongue" and pull the lid.

It can be seen that enough limescale has accumulated in it and not much debris (surprising).

The next step is to take out the "basket" of rubbish itself. But this time, too, I lowered myself enough, I could not immediately figure out how to do it (that isolation has a bad effect on brain cells).

It is necessary to snap off the gray bar, set it to a vertical position, grab the two tabs and pull out the basket. If that model of washing machine Electrolux 800 RPM.

This is how the filter has grown over 5 years of operation.

Water stone is quite difficult to remove, but there is a simple and easy way to do it. We put our overgrown basket to soak for an hour in vinegar.

Vinegar works wonders!!!

He brushed it lightly and the stone fell off.

Install the filter in the washing machine in reverse order.

No wonder I spent my time in isolation, and even shared it with you. I hope it was interesting. Take care of yourself and your family.
