As a homeowner in East Lothian, maintaining your washing machine is crucial to ensure it runs efficiently and effectively. One often-overlooked aspect of washing machine maintenance is cleaning the drain pump filter. In this article, we'll provide a step-by-step guide on how to clean the drain pump filter, helping you to keep your appliance in top condition.

The drain pump filter is responsible for catching debris, lint, and other particles that can clog your washing machine's drainage system. If not cleaned regularly, the filter can become clogged, leading to poor drainage, increased energy bills, and even damage to your appliance.

The drain pump filter is usually located at the front of your washing machine, near the bottom. It may be hidden behind a panel or cover, so you may need to consult your user manual or contact a professional if you're unsure.

To clean the drain pump filter, follow these steps:

1. Disconnect the power: Before starting, ensure your washing machine is unplugged from the power source to avoid any accidents.
2. Remove the filter: Depending on your washing machine model, you may need to remove a panel or cover to access the filter. For Beko washing machines, you can usually find the filter at the front of the machine, near the bottom.
3. Hose down the filter: Use a hose to rinse the filter and remove any debris or lint.
4. Check the impeller: The impeller is a small plastic or metal component that helps to pump water out of the machine. Check if it's damaged or clogged and replace it if necessary.
5. Reassemble: Once you've cleaned the filter, reassemble the machine in the reverse order that you disassembled it.

• Regular cleaning: Clean the drain pump filter every 1-2 months to prevent clogs and maintain your washing machine's performance.
• Genuine parts: If you need to replace the filter or impeller, use genuine parts to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
