Before emptying the filter need to get rid of any excess water in machine first. place the drain hose into a bowl and lower when water stops we move on to the filter.The filter is hidden inside the sump hose, the large black hose that connects to the bottom of the outer drum, squeeze the tag tails together with large pliers to release the clip, slip an old towel under hose for the water spillage.remove the gunge, hairs, hair grips, money,etc from the filter pot then reassemble hose connection
