Hello After 6 years of using the washing machine, the idea of cleaning the drain filter came to my mind (no, nothing happens), but I can not take it out. The white cap is unscrewed and the black filter stays inside - it cannot be moved with bare hands. Probably after years of sleeping and ......

Pliers or pliers and how much strength. Often it does not come out completely ... You can, if necessary, Remove the pump and pour vinegar at night.

It is necessary to remove the pump, unscrew the engine and gently knock out the filter cartridge from the other side.

Thank you very much for the advice. Pliers and a lot of strength were enough. Two of the four tabs that I pulled with simultaneous jerking sideways broke off, but the third durable and the filter came out ... in the middle of a massacre

After 6 years of using the washing machine, the idea of cleaning the drain filter came to my mind (no, nothing happens), but I can not take it out. The white cap is unscrewed and the black filter stays inside - it cannot be moved with bare hands. Probably after years of "sleeping" and ... just how to remove it now? Do you have any way
