LG WM3050CW Drain Filter Replacement

Introduction

Use this guide to replace or clean the drain filter in your LG WM3050CW Washing Machine.

The drain filter collects large debris, like loose change, that might be stuck to your clothes. If your washing machine isn't removing this debris, or if your tub is not draining properly, then your filter may be broken or clogged.
