How to Open the Pump Access Door on a GE Front-Load Washer
- 1). Find the pump access door on the front of your GE front-load washer. It is the rectangular seam on the lower right side at the front of the washer.
- 2). Place a shallow container under the pump access door area. The pump filter might have up to a cup of water in it when you pull it out of the unit. The container will catch the residual water.
- 3). Insert a coin into the small notch at the top of the pump access door. Pull the door open with the coin. Turn the pump filter counterclockwise and remove the filter from the access area.
