Filter Locations
There are 3 possible places to look, as each machine maker installs the filter in different location places ( not always visible)
1) If machine has a square flap fitted on the front filter maybe located behind this. (no luck try next one)
2 ) Could be located behind the front lower kick panel (gently remove panel to see). (no luck it’s definitely in the last one)
3) Located inside the sump hose this is the hose that is attached to the bottom of the outer drum
Remove excess filter rubbish/gunge, then wash the filter under the tap and refit
