AEG washing machine filter cleaning

Question

• How do I access the filter of my washing machine?
• Where is the fluff filter of my washing machine?
• How can I clean the lint filter?
• Where can I find small objects like buttons, hairpins, coins, and remove them from my washing machine?

Answer

• Some models of washing machines are equipped with a self-cleaning drainage system.
• • These washing machines have a door seal designed to catch all objects such as coins, buttons, hairpins, etc. before they have the chance to leave the drum and make their way to the drainage area.
  • Light fluffy fibres that fall from the clothing are immediately washed away with the water.
  • For these washing machine models, it is sufficient to regularly check the rubber door seal for any remaining objects and then remove these objects.
• Cleaning the filter (for models with an accessible filter):
• • Open the door flap (located in the bottom right corner of the device).
  • Turn the filter to the left without removing it. Allow the water to drain away. Note, provide a catchment tray (for example, an oven tray).
  • Then turn the filter to the left and remove it completely from the filter cavity.
  • Remove lint and other objects from the filter cavity.
  • Check if the pump impeller can rotate in the filter cavity.
  • Clean the filter that you removed under the tap
  • Place the filter back into the designated guide. Tighten the filter securely to prevent leakage.
  • Close the door flap.
• Consult the user manual for more information.
