It belongs to the 500 Series, which is where its parts and its features come from. ### What we are called out for on it ### The thing worth knowing about this one The pump filter behind the flap at the bottom front is meant to be opened by the owner, and cleaning it every few months prevents most of what this machine is called out for. Confirmed from the manufacturer’s compact washer page rather than the sitemap. ### Where the model number is On the door edge of a dishwasher, visible when the door is open. On the inner frame of a refrigerator, usually behind a drawer. On the door collar or behind the filter flap on laundry.
