How to Clean the Pump Filter in an LG Washing Machine
When the pump filter on a washing machine gets clogged with lint, small objects that fall out of pockets and into the pump, and general debris, the washing machine may not function properly. The wash load may take longer, water may not drain as well, or water might even leak from the machine. Cleaning out the pump filter on a LG washing machine is fairly easy to do, thanks to an access panel on the front of the washer. Does this Spark an idea?
