Seems to be clogged and will not drain

- Hello again!

Usually, top loaders are accessabe by removing the rear panel, where front loaders are usually accessed by removing the kick panel under the main front panel. The strainers are usually attached to the pump housing, and most have a screw-in lid woth an "O" ring gasket. They are very tight, and it may take some leverage to get it started off. I use channel locks to gain mechanical adventage over it the first time. I always give the "O" ring and threads a shot of silicone spray before reassembly, just in case I ever have to go back into it.
Best regards, --W/D-- Thanks for rating my solution!

- You may have to remove the top to access the side fasteners.
