The Hidden Washing Machine Switch You Shouldn’t Ignore

  1. Locate the Switch or Filter Panel:
    Usually found at the bottom corner of the machine or behind a small access door.

  2. Prepare for Drainage:
    Place a container or towel under the panel to catch any water that will be released.

  3. Activate the Drain:
    Turn the switch or open the filter compartment to allow dirty water to flow out completely.

  4. Clean the Filter:
    Remove lint, debris, and detergent buildup from the filter. Rinse under running water if necessary.

  5. Reassemble and Rinse:
    Secure the panel or switch back in place. Run a quick rinse cycle to ensure the machine is clean and ready for laundry.

Tips for Best Results:

  • Perform this cleaning once a month, or more often if you notice odors or reduced washing efficiency.

  • Use warm water or a mild detergent to rinse the filter for better results.

  • Always check the user manual for your model to locate the exact switch/filter position.
