Make sure as much water as possible is drained out of the tub then turn off the power to the machine. 2. Using the flat edge of the liquid detergent partition piece, a flathead screwdriver or similar item, gently pry open the drain pump cover, as illustrated. 3. There is always a small amount of water in the drain pump area. Before you open the drain cover, place a shallow container, such as a pie pan, on the floor below the drain to catch the water. 4. Pull the small black drain hose loose from its position on the door cover and let the water drain into the pan. 5. Unscrew the pin trap cover and lift it out. 3. Lift up the paddle and remove the object. 4. Replace the paddle in its fixing hole with the F-mark toward you. Check that the paddle clips are properly located in the slots and slide the paddle toward the back as far as it will go.
