Safety gear
  • Closed-toe, slip-resistant shoes
  • Waterproof household gloves if the drained water is dirty or stagnant
Before you start
  • Empty the washer drum
  • Make sure the power plug is safely reachable without moving the washer; stop if it is not
  • Let any trapped water cool
Safety limits / when to stop
  • Stop if water is hot
  • Stop if the access panel or drain layout differs from the linked manual
  • Stop if the filter will not turn by hand
  • Keep the washer unplugged and arrange service if water continues seeping before power is restored
