What CLr FLtr means

On Fisher & Paykel WH2424 front-load washers, 24 inch models such as the WH2424F1, WH2424P1 and WH2424P2, the message "CLr FLtr" means the pump filter is blocked and needs clearing. The washer cannot drain freely through a clogged filter, so it pauses and shows the message. This is a user warning that an owner can correct. It is a user warning, and the fix is usually quick.

Common causes of CLr FLtr

  • Lint, coins, buttons or other small items clogging the pump filter
  • Heavy debris collected over many loads
  • Drain hose restriction beyond the filter
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn the washer off and wait until the water has settled. 2. Place a shallow pan and towels under the filter access at the lower front. 3. Slowly open the filter, let water run out, and remove lint and small items. 4. Refit the filter firmly. 5. Restart. If the message returns, call us.

! Why to stop there
  • If the filter will not turn, or water keeps flowing, stop and let a technician handle it.
  • A blocked filter that keeps recurring may hide a pump or drain hose problem.
  • We quote in writing first and add a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

CLr FLtrCLr FLtr questions
How often should I clear the pump filter?

Check it every few months and whenever you wash pocketed items. Coins, hair ties and lint collect there and trigger "CLr FLtr". Keep a towel handy, since the filter holds some water.

Why is there so much water when I open it?

The filter sits low, so water above it drains out when opened. A pan and towels catch it, and opening it slowly controls the flow.

The message stays after cleaning. What next?

Refit the filter fully and check the drain hose for kinks. If "CLr FLtr" still shows, call us to check the drain pump. We also check the pump if the filter is clear.
