Turn off the washing machine if you hear clanking or rattling noises. Check the drum for coins, safety pins, and other small metal objects. Remove the lower cover cap. Rotate the drain plug and place the water bucket or pan directly below it. Remove the hose and the drain plug so that the water flows into the vessel. Rotate the pump filter to the left to open it after the water has completely drained. Remove any metal and other objects you may find in the pump filter. Rotate the pump filter clockwise to close it. Reinstall the drain plug and close the lower cover cap.

Stop the washer and redistribute the load if you hear thumping or shaking noises coming from the washing machine. Verify that its leveling feet are firmly planted on the floor. Confirm that the packing and shipping bolts originally located on the back and bottom of the machine were removed. Use the supplied caps to cover up the bolt holes.

Tips & Warnings
Drain the pump filter monthly to help keep your LG Tromm running smoothly.
Allow for extra minutes beyond the actual timed settings when your LG Tromm is operating. Washing cycle times will vary and may be increased due to the laundry load, water temperature, water pressure, and the suds removal process.
Serious burns can result from hot water when draining the pump filter; always allow the water to cool down before performing that task.
A fire hazard could occur due to an overloaded circuit if additional fuses are added. Replace fuses without adding more. Contact a qualified electrician if blown fuses occur often.
