To check a washer pump filter, first, locate the filter—usually found at the front lower part of the washer behind a small access door. Use a shallow pan to catch any drips. Open the access door, slowly remove the filter by turning it counterclockwise. Remove debris or lint caught in the filter. Rinse it under running water. Before reinserting the filter, ensure the interior is clear of debris. Reinstall the filter by screwing it clockwise and securely close the access door.
