How do I clean the debris filter in my front loading Samsung washing machine?. Open the filter cover(A) by using a coin or key.Take one end of the emergency draining tube (B) out.Open the emergency drain cap (C) by pulling it. Allow all the water to flow into a bowl. Note: hold the cap at the end of the emergency draining tube (B) and slowly pull it out. Note: you may need to drain several bowlfuls of water.
. Prepare a dry cloth. Wash any dirt or other material from the debris filter. Make sure the drain pump propeller behind the debris filter is not blocked.Replace the debris filter cap tightly.Reinsert the emergency drain cap and the drain tube.ake sure to replace the debris filter and emergency drain cap after cleaning it. If they are not reinserted properly your washing machine may leak or otherwise malfunction.Close the filter cove
It might well be a coin! Coins and other items that fall from clothes pockets into the drum stay in the drum. They are too large to pass through the small drainage holes in the drum. But my granddaughter found a way! She opened the washing powder dispenser at the top of the machine and dropped three coins (that we know about) into the drawer and closed it. The water fill cycle then somehow swept the coins down into the drum. To get them out I had to dismantle the machine and remove the pump outlet assembly and poke a stiff wire into the drum and drag the coins out. The machine is a completely different make to your but I would assume a similar method would work. good luck
Usually what I have found is a small hole in the drain hose or coin trap, sometimes mice chew them and sometimes It is an abrasion wear from the balance brick rubbing. pretty easy fix though.
F-18 means the pump is blocked. When the machine fails, there may be an "electrical" smell as the motor has laboured. This is normal. Clean on bottom right corner and you should be fine..
Open flap at the bottom righthand flap.
Keep big bucket handy for water.
Remove clear plastic attached to black tube (slowly) This will empty water from washing machine. Once empty - no water coming out from washing machine then open big opener next to tube and remove any objects inside( coins, buttons and such)
Put back clear plastic filler firmly inside as before. Close big opener next to tube. close flap
Turn machine programe knob to DRAIN. Start washing machine.
Check the supply faucet water pressure, the hose - it might have a screen to stop scale etc. and that may be blocked. Check that there are no kinks in the hose and that the inlet solenoid valve is opening fully.
Perhaps been hit by a coin..Try sealing with silicone, give it a good clean 1st the roughen it with sandpaper to give it a Key......It may of course be from the Door boot seal you need to check this and @ pump also just in case..Please leave feedback
use side of spanner to open the circular water drain plug on coin trap, remove all water.
use flat screwdriver to lift yellow tab at top of coin trap whiloe turning coin trap anticlockwise.
Debree filter located at bottom right on the front of the washing machine is blocked. Power needs to be turned off, and compartment to filter opened with a coin before cleaning, there is a hidden tube again to the right and below the filter, pull out cap to this and put bowl below to catch water - there is rather a lot of water so important to do this. Don't forget to clean the filter once water empties out.
My machine wouldn't spin propely and it turned out that the problem was that the water was not draining fast enough. I found several coins in the drain boot and some nickels clogging the artery right before the pump. See http://www.applianceaid.com/frigidaire_frontload_washer3.html
for a description as to how to get at the pump. To reassemble, I used a vice grip to hold the clamps open to make it easy to get the hoses on the tubes
