How do I remove the front panel to access the drain pump?
SOURCE: calypso front panel removal
Hi If you just need to get to the pump there is a access panel on the bottom.. flip it on its side and unscrew the panel you should be able to get to it... if you can't you can open the top with by pushing a putty knife in the front to push in the two clips and the top will hinge back.. then you can get to the screws to remove the front panel.. let me know how you do .. Thanks

In the rear of the machine you remove 3 screws. slide back the top and that exposes you guessed it., a few more screws. the controls needs to be removed. use surgical gloves to keep from messing up the controls. Once you get the bottom panel off and access the pump you twist open the cleanout and get the stuff out.

If you have cleaned the drain pump and checked ALL the drain lines (this includes the drain line that runs from the bottom of the wash tub to the inlet side of the drain pump), then you may have to replace the pump.
Since the error code is generated if the drain cycle exceeds 8 minutes, if the pump is damaged and cannot pump at the correct volume to complete the drain cycle, the error code will continue to appear until the pump is replaced.
The following link explains how to replace the drain pump (if required):

Replacement parts (if required) can be purchased at any of the following websites:
searspartsdirect.com
appliancepartspros.com
pcappliancerepair.com
repairclinic.com
All these sites are reputable and offer great service with competitive pricing, so shop and compare. The first three sites I hjave listed also have helpful exploded view parts illustrations to assist you in locating and properly identifying the parts you need.
If you are having problems with unlocking the washer, there is a manual release you can use to get the door open:

The problem may just be a momentary glitch in programming related to the "F02" error code you are receiving. If there are any error codes present, the washer will not complete a cycle and will shut down. I would recommend double checking the drainage system one more time to ensure there's nothing caught in the pump impeller or any of the drain lines (you may have overlooked something), followed by replacement of the pump if the problem continues. This will hopefully cure any others issues you may be experiencing with the washer.
If you have any questions, please post back and let me know. I hope this helps you.

Hello, welcome to FixYa.
To remove the access panel you will need to remove three #20 torx head screws. To do so you will need a #20 torx bit or #20 torx screwdriver.
Good Luck and thank you for choosing FixYa. Please take a moment to rate the info I provided and a short testimony is appreciated.
