Washer-dryer does not drain water; cycle stops with water in drum and E03 on display.

Safety first: Unplug the Teka combo and keep towels or a shallow tray ready for water spillage.

• Access the pump filter: Locate the service flap at the lower front of the machine. Open it and place a tray underneath.
• Drain residual water: If equipped with an emergency drain hose, pull it out and drain into a container. Otherwise, slowly unscrew the pump filter cap to let water out gradually.
• Clean the filter: Remove coins, lint, buttons, and debris from the filter and pump cavity. Check that the pump impeller spins freely with your finger.
• Inspect the drain hose: Check the rear drain hose for kinks or blockages. Detach from the standpipe or sink trap and flush with water.
• Test the pump (advanced): With power disconnected and access panel removed, check the pump wiring connector. Use a multimeter to verify coil resistance. If the pump hums but does not turn, or is open circuit, replace the drain pump.
• Reassemble and test: Refit the filter securely, close the flap, reconnect hoses, and run a drain/spin program.

Warning: Never run the machine with the pump filter removed; this can cause leaks and damage.
