Since you’re already replacing the cap, pull the filter all the way out, rinse it under running water, and check for coins, lint, or debris. A clean filter prevents the OE\/F9E1 error code, extends pump life, and keeps drain times fast. Takes 5 minutes and saves a service call.\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e✓ Model-Specific Repair Pages\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"model-link-grid\"\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/maytag-washer-parts-canada\" style=\"display:inline-block;border:1px solid #cc0000;border-radius:20px;padding:5px 14px;font-size:13px;color:#cc0000;text-decoration:none;margin:4px;\"\u003eWhirlpool WASHER Dryer Parts \u0026amp; Repair Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"XPart Supply Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52931446604065,"sku":"W11568579","price":29.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7783\/2225\/files\/W11568579_Whirlpool_Washer_Drain_Trap_Cap.png?v=1782869047","url":"https:\/\/xpartsupply.com\/products\/whirlpool-washer-drain-trap-cap-w11568579","provider":"XPart Supply Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
