  • Tolerances between the filter body and the filter cover must be compensated to ensure a seal of the pump chamber with respect to the filter chamber. Furthermore, a seal must be ensured at the screw connection of the filter body to the unit housing. Tolerances of the components can be compensated to some extent when the filter cover and the filter body have elastic material. There is a need for a sealing of the pump chamber with respect to the filter chamber of the leaching and / or Umflutaggregats, without affecting the seal on the screw of the filter body with the unit housing of the washing machine.
