How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer and prepare for water spillage when opening the pump filter.

  • Check filter and impeller: Remove the pump filter and inspect the impeller. Clear any debris and ensure it turns freely.
  • Inspect wiring: Access the pump from below or front and check that the electrical connector is firmly attached.
  • Test pump coil: Measure resistance across the pump terminals. An open circuit indicates a failed pump.
  • Replace pump: If defective, remove hoses and mounting screws, fit a new Primus drain pump, and secure all connections.
