i have a ariston margherita LBE 12X washing machine and i have never cleaned the filter,the machine is 3yrs old and the drum is now quiet smelly,
i have found the filter but i dont know how to remove it,maybe you could help,i have lost the manual also. The filter will turn but wont come out it really needs to be cleaned.
I hope you can solve my problem
Many thanks
Sometimes a bigger object might block the filter knob, and make it impossible to screw out. Then the only way is to remove the end of the sump hose attached to the filter and remove the stuck object. (In my filter this object was an Umbraco key) :-)
You need to use quite a lot of force to remove it. What typically happens is the filter will get blocked with small coins etc. To be honest it is not a great design. Work it back and forward and be very physical with it. It will come out and it does so purely by unscrewing as you would expect - just really tough and the grip is difficult. I ended up using to adjustable wrenches on it.
Good luck.
