Check your washing machine’s pump filter once a month and clean it if there is dirt in it.
At the bottom of the washing machine is a filter that catches lint, coins and other small objects. If it clogs, the machine drains poorly and the laundry may stay wet. Bosch’s All-in+ advises checking the filter about once a month.
- Switch off the machine and unplug it
- Put a towel and a shallow tray under the flap
- Let the remaining water drain and slowly unscrew the filter
- Rinse the filter clean and screw it back in firmly
