Re: Where is the drain clean out filter on model Gcvh6260...
There may not be clean out filter, the machine drain pipe cleans the filter by back washing. Check the drain pipe; where drains water into main drain. There may be accumulated debris.

This machine is integrated drain design; lint will be drained out and don't need to clean the filter regularly. If you would like to clean the filter, please contact your local Service Center.
To clean the carbureted model's filter, you drain the gas from the tank, remove petcock and filter, clean filter with compressed air, reinstall. The fuel injected model requires that you drain the tank, remove the entire pump assembly from inside the tank, and then replace the filter (it can't be cleaned).
The carbureted model's filter is supposed to be inspected and cleaned every 20k miles. The fuel injected model's filter is supposed to be replaced every 25k miles.
Usually
there must be a filter screen in the dishwasher which can cause this to
happen. It goes to the drain . If there is accumulation of food
particles in the dishwasher filter screen then draining may be
obstructed which can cause the water to be stranded at the bottom.
To
exactly tell you where the filter is locate and how to clean it please
specify the brand and model number of your dishwasher.Usually the filter
is located at the back of the dishwasher near the drain. It is usually
held in position by means of clips. You can just pop it out.Pour some
hot water in the drain and clean the drain line also.
Hi If the washer is not draining then it is due to a clogged drain pump or a drain filter or a kinked drain hose. To resolve the issue you’ll need to clean the drain hose, inspect if the drain hose is plugged. If the hose is fine, then remove the front kick panel and access the drain pump and filter, if you are unable to find the pump and filter remove the back panel as well and trace the drain hose to the bottom of the tub. There is a drain filter connected with the drain pump. It usually gets clogged, and needs to be cleaned every 6-8 months or so. The drain filter is a small white filter connected to drain pump with a hose. If it still doesn’t work then you’ll need to check the connections of the drain pump, check the connections with a multimeter. If it still doesn’t work then you would need to replace the drain pump. Please revert for any further assistance. Hope this helps...

This is exactly what my machine was doing, as well. I fixed it by cleaning out the filter in front of the water pump.
Searching here, I found that you can remove the lower front panel (three screws along the bottom edge is all it takes) to get to the filter. With the panel removed, you'll see a round white plastic cover (about 3-4 inches diameter) that screws out. Get a bucket under the cover to catch the water that's in it (could be 2 quarts or more) and unscrew the cover.
The cover pulls out, revealing that is actually a screw-in plastic strainer. I found tons of coins, broken pens, paper clips, etc. in mine when I did this. A lot will be deep inside the black rubber hose that connects this filter housing to the washer drum. You can rake the stuff out with a bent wire clothes hanger. Shaking the black hose will help hurry the junk along and out of your machine. Screw the cover back on after the clean out and your machine should go back to normal.
Thinking about it, front loaders will have lots of small items flushed into the pump compared to top loaders. Coins you alway found in the bottom of the drum in a top loader, they all wind up in the filter of a front loader. And once it slow the drainage to a crawl the machine will shut down multiple times when it can't drain the water out completely, and it will never step up to it's max spin speed with all that water still in the drum.
for other models, like the GCVH6260, you remove the lower front panel, which is held on by 3 screws, and unscrew the filter, which is a round white plastic thingie on the right side. (unlike the video, there is no convenient flip down spout for the water to drain out.) be prepared to catch about a litre of water when opening the filter. a good-sized tray or bowl works, and have a cloth or towel handy to mop up any spillage.
slide it out, clean it, and slide it back in. on my machine the closed position was marked with a blue mark along the edge - it's a nylon plug with a rubber gasket, so apparently it doesn't need to be overtightened. just turn it back to the way it was.
