TIL to always check the drain pump filter first, thanks to a flooded laundry room in Akron.

I was at a job in Akron last week for a washer that wouldn't drain. The homeowner was sure it was the pump. I pulled out the front service panel and found the little round filter completely packed with a sock and some coins. It took ten minutes to clear. Saved them the cost of a new pump and a service call. Anyone else have a go-to 'check this first' item for front-load washers?
