My Bush a126q washing machine doesn't drain well. I've been advised to check on the filter. Where is the filter of this washing machine located? And what could be the problem?

Hi eddyloz2000,
I believe your drain pump filter is just clogged. The drain pump is
trying to pump the water out before the Spin cycle, but can't. Usually
this is caused by a foreign object that is obstructing the impeller. See
my tip on how to access, drain & clean the Drain Pump Filter:
ACCESS, DRAIN & CLEAN THE DRAIN PUMP FILTER
After this, the Spin cycle will run, after the drainage procedure. If it
does not, then you may need to replace the Drain Motor. Which is a easy
task.
Kind Regards :-)

Reset it back to the spin cycle and try to empty some more water out of it. It should release the door when it knows it is empty.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
Were you able to check the function of the drain motor/pump whilst you checked the filter? If not follow my (pre0typed!) guidance notes which may help you.
Here are my complete and general guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!) and most are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT.
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis. Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.
If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

Make sure that the outlet of the pipe is at least as high above the floor as the top of the machine. If it is lower than the level of the water, it will just drain - there is no shut-off valve to stop it from doing this. Please rate this answer.

it will work fine but the problem is that all the rinses will be done with warm water, this causes seriously wrinkled washing thats v hard to iron out.
