Clogged Filter Trap - Small Fix That Prevents Big Problems

Over time, small debris, lint, food particles, and residue can accumulate in the filter trap and restrict proper water flow without showing clear warning signs. In this case, the blockage had already begun to affect normal operation and could have led to leaks or more serious internal issues if left unaddressed.

Our technician carefully accessed the filter trap, removed it, and performed a thorough professional cleaning. All built-up debris was cleared to restore unrestricted water movement through the system. After cleaning, the filter trap was correctly reinstalled, secured in place, and the appliance was fully reassembled. A complete operational test confirmed that drainage had returned to normal and the appliance was functioning as expected.

Filter traps play an important role in protecting internal components from blockages and water damage. When they are not cleaned regularly, minor issues can slowly develop into drainage failures, pump strain, or unexpected shutdowns. Preventive maintenance helps extend the lifespan of household appliances and reduces the risk of costly repairs.
