Cleaning the Washing Machine: Complete Guide
Periodically cleaning the washing machine is necessary, but not many people know about the existence of a ‘hidden switch’ on this appliance.

Importance of Cleaning the Washing Machine

The washing machine is an essential appliance in a modern home. After a while of use, it accumulates a lot of bacteria and dirt. It is therefore necessary to clean it periodically to keep your clothes clean and odor-free.

Find and use the hidden switch

On some washing machines, there is a “hidden switch” that you must turn on to get the dirty water to drain.

This part is usually located in the lower right corner of the washing machine, with a small cover above it. Press lightly so that the top cover opens. This is where the machine’s sediment filter is located.

Before opening the sediment filter cover, place a cloth underneath to prevent residual dirty water from leaking out and dirtying the floor. Remove the filter tube by gently twisting it and then pulling it out.
