## What CLr FLtr actually means.

CLr FLtr asks you to clear the pump filter because it is blocked.

Fisher & Paykel washer display

What to do when CLr FLtr shows on the washer

### Kind of code Drain

The washer tried to empty the tub and the water level did not drop in time. A sock or a coin in the pump filter, a kinked drain hose or a blocked standpipe is ruled out before the pump itself.

### Usually leads to Drain pump repair

Water left in the drum and clothes that come out soaked, traced to the pump filter, the pump, or the hose and standpipe behind it.

### Shows up as Washer Not Draining

Water stays in the tub after the cycle ends, or the washer stops before the spin with the drum still full.

## Questions about CLr FLtr.

### Can I clear CLr FLtr myself?

Open the pump filter cover at the bottom right of the washer. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Where is the pump filter that CLr FLtr refers to on a Fisher & Paykel?

Behind the cover at the bottom right of the washer, the same cover used for the manual door release.

### CLr FLtr came back right after I cleaned the filter. Why?

Something may still be blocking the pump or drain hose. Book a visit if a clean filter does not clear it.
