How to Clean The Filter On An Indesit Washing Machine

In this video we'll talk you through how to clean and replace the filter on your Indesit washing machine.

When should you inspect the filter

It's a good idea to get in to the habit of inpecting the filter on your Indesit washing machine on a regular basis.  We suggest once a month for washing machines that are used on a regular basis such as once a day.

Step 1 - Remove the lower panel

You will notice that there are 3 slots in the bottom panel.  Using a flat bladed screwdrive carefully push down and prise away the panel.

Step 2 - Place a towel and container

It is important to catch any water that might be in the sump and pump of the washing machine.  We advise using a towel and a container incase of any spillages.

Step 3 - Remove the screws

The filter housing is held in place by 4 screws which now need to be removed.

Step 4 - Remove the pump and filter housing

On this model the pump and filter housing are removed from the washing machine by turning it counter clockwise.

Step 5 - Unscrew the filter

Place the pump and filter housing over the container and unscrew the filter slowly.

Step 6 - Clean and Replace

Now you can give the filter and inside the filter housing a thorough clean, and replace the filter in the filter housing.
