How to Clean Your IFB Washing Machine Filter

Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning the Drain Pump Filter

1. Locate the small rectangular flap at the bottom front corner of your IFB washing machine.
2. Place a shallow tray or a thick towel on the floor directly under the flap to catch any residual water.
3. Gently pry open the flap using a flat-head screwdriver or your fingers, then unscrew the circular filter cap slowly in a counter-clockwise direction.
4. Allow the water to drain into your tray, then pull the filter out completely to remove lint, hair, or small objects trapped inside.
5. Rinse the filter under running tap water to remove grime, wipe the filter housing clean, and screw the cap back in tightly clockwise until secure.

Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician

1. Check the drain hose for any visible kinks or blockages that might be preventing water flow.
2. Ensure the drain hose is positioned at the correct height as per your user manual to prevent siphoning issues.
3. Run a 'Drain/Spin' cycle after cleaning the filter to verify that the water pumps out effectively.
