Clean water tank difficult to remove or install, feels stuck

Safety first: Unplug the machine before forcing any parts.

• Do not force: Avoid excessive force that could crack the tank or housing.
• Inspect rails and latch: Look for dried detergent, grit, or foreign objects in the tank rails and latch area. Clean with a damp cloth.
• Check tank shape: Place the tank on a flat surface to see if it rocks or appears warped. Replace if deformed.
• Lubricate lightly: Wipe the rails with a slightly damp cloth; do not use oils or greases that can attract dirt.
