If this is a Maytag Epic, you are referring to the drain pump reservoir. The following link explains how to access and clean the drain pump:

http://www.fixya.com/support/r3574284-checking_the_drain_pump_on_a_front_loade

Make sure you also check the hose that runs from the bottom of the wash tub to the inlet side of the pump. Small articles of clothing can become lodged here. If you have questions, please post back and let me know. I hope this helps you.

NOTE: If the link does not work for you, copy and paste to your web browser. Maytag Epic is manufactured by Whirlpool, so these instructions do apply.

I let my gas almost run out of my 06 pacifica, after putting gas in it started hesitating and shuts off, is it b/c i let gas get so low, im on 3rd full tank of gas w/gas treatment,still happens

I would suggest it may be a dirty or clogged fuel filter or gas tank sending unit inside the gas tank. Try replacing the fuel filter first, if that does not work, you may need to pull the gas tank and clean it. God bless your efforts.

Hello, LG LD 14AT1 dishwasher, starts cycle runs 3 minutes, starts stops on off no water in bottom. Then displays OE chimes! Checked tap under sink water there, checked filter inside bottom, turned off for...

Hi

OE in your dishwasher is a drain error and dishwasher not draining issue usually occurs due to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. First make sure that the drain is not clogged and remove clogs if present. If no visible lint is present then remove the lower front access panel to check the drain filter and drain pump for any clogs, you'll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump completely. Also, check for any food pieces stuck near the pump impeller & clean the chopper assembly. If the issue returns after cleaning then the drain pump assembly should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

The heating element is working on high heat and clothes are tumbling but after several cycles the clothes aren't dry. The lint trap has been cleaned out. Suggestions?

the ducting is clogged or at least partially clogged (most likely at an elbow).
Also check the vent itself where it exits the home for bird nests etc.
Lowes sells a nice kit for cleaning vents in the plumbing department. I have
used it and it works well. Please note that the dryer may also be clogged
inside just below the lint filter inside the door or if it has a top mounted
lint filter it would be the blower stack located in the back of the machine
Remember to shut off breakers before performing any service to the machine.

How do I clean the jets on my trimmer?

Remove the L an H mixture screws on the side of the carburetor and spray them out with carb cleaner or brake parts cleaner...re-insert screws and re-tune the carb. But if you are going to clean the jets, I would highly recommend that you clean and check or rebuild the entire carb. If the jets are clogged, other passages and filter screens inside the carb are probably clogged too....don't forget your fuel lines and the filter inside the gas tank !!! ... Hope this helps ;-D

Clogged filter

Hi, The mesh does not open. You will need to GENTLY clean each section with running water. Are you using powder or liquid soap?
The most common thing that plugs them is food particles. This unit is best served by pre-rinsing the dishes. The mess gets plugged to easily.
I hope this helps.

Clogged filter

I found that the rubber seal on the bottom of my cyclone is not properly seated to the bottom of canister, I guessed when I removed the clear canister bin completely from cyclone unit for cleaning, I put the cyclone down on the floor and rubber seal accidentally move upward just a little. this creates a small gap on the bottom when I reassembled it, (since seal is up from it original position a little). I pulled rubber seal down to its original position, you will notice that there should not be a gap on the bottom at all, this way you do not have to clean or should not have to clean the filter but once a month or even less.

Hoover eite rewind vacuum has blocked airflow, how do i fix?

Is there suction at the end of the hose, if not then the blockage is in the hose, unhook the hose and dig out the debris, if hose isn't blocked, then clean out the filters, if they get clogged, then air can;t flow thru them and you won't have suction. If you have suction at the end of the hose, then it is clogged down in the nozzle asm. there is an inlet by the brush roll and it comes up to where the hose plugs into. Clean the clog out.
