I have a whirlpool awo/d 5705 and when I put a wash on it goes to spin and says clean the pump. How can I clean the pump, where is it or do I have to get somebody out to do it?
If there is a kick plate on the bottom front you take screws off and you can get right to the pump, un hook hose and clen out. Now if there isn't a kick plate then you have to go through the back and then do the same.. Remember to unplug unit before entry.

drainage tube
does it pump out all the water when it spins the first time? when they spin slow sometimes the pump is not pumping out all the water causing it to spin slow.
Remove bottom plastic panel across the front of machine- it just clips off (use a small screwdriver or bread knife to prise off). You will now see a round filter behind this panel- unscrew anticlockwise to remove- this is the filter. Sometimes filter can be hard to remove if you have things jammed in it- give it bit of a jiggle and it should come out without forcing it.
Remember- if there is still water in the machine, this water will come out on the floor once you remove the filter- put down some towels!!
Happy fixing!!
