How to Fix 'dp' Error in IFB Washing Machine

Steps to Clear Drainage Blockages

1. Locate the small flap door at the bottom front corner of your washing machine.
2. Place a shallow tray or towel on the floor to catch residual water before opening the drain filter.
3. Unscrew the drain filter cap slowly in a counter-clockwise direction and allow the water to drain out completely.
4. Remove the filter, clear away any lint, coins, or debris found inside, and rinse it under running water.
5. Check the pump impeller inside the housing to ensure it spins freely and is not obstructed by foreign objects.

Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician

1. Inspect the external drain hose for any kinks, bends, or crushing that might restrict water flow.
2. Ensure the drain hose is not inserted too deeply into the standpipe, which can create a vacuum effect.
3. Verify that the drain hose height is within the manufacturer's recommended range (usually 60cm to 100cm from the floor).
4. Perform a 'Drain/Spin' cycle after cleaning the filter to see if the error clears.
