Unblocking a washing machine or dishwasher drain pump requires accessing the pump filter housing, which is typically located behind a small access panel at the bottom front of the appliance. First, unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet and place shallow pans and old towels on the floor to catch residual trapped water. Slowly unscrew the cylindrical drain pump filter cap counterclockwise to let water drain out. Inspect the filter cavity and impeller blades thoroughly for trapped coins, hairpins, lint clumps, or paper clips, remove the obstructions carefully, reinsert the filter securely, and test the machine.
