Cleaning a Maytag MHW5630HW2 Drain Pump Filter - this assumes you can tip the washer to where you can access from the bottom. Not so good if you have dryer stacked on top.
clean out the drain pump filter Unfortunately this particular model washer is not easy at all to access and fix a drain problem. There is a drain catch inside the washer that you will want to access and clean if you're getting this drain error. To access the drain catch, it's very difficult. The top panel, the control panel, and the entire front panel all need to be removed so that you can access the pump below the tub. It's really a bad design and it was never this difficult in the past.
