You have to tip the machine backwards and let it lean on wall.# Then you can remove the lower panel on front which is fixed using 3 torx 15 (T15) screws. Take off panel and you can see the filter assembly facing you. Simply unscrew it. Do though take care to clean all calcium off all the seals before putting it back to avoid any leaks.

First check your washer plug to see if the connections are tightly screwed. Next check your filter if you haven't for long.

Remove the 3 screws at the bottom of the front panel under the washer door. Your filter door will be light brown. If you find a hose there it is to drain out excess water (water that could not be drained by your pump) After you hv drained unscrew the cap and remove all the junk inside. Have a large plastic bag to catch junk and water. Refit carefully after cleaning out. If not solved, something shd be blocking your pump, check this out. Door locked? Press "end of cycle" for 3 seconds, wait for 2 minutes & try the door. F-21 filter blocked.

check brushes on motor. how old is machine?

Yes,it is called a bellow.If the tear is small enough and just on the front rim of the seal try gluing it with super glue,it will get you by till you can get it replaced.

unscrew the circular cover, pull the filter out and clean it. water may come out.

check drain pump for blockage
