The washer is probably 6ish years old? Not 100% sure but it is reasonably new and in perfect working order other than this. Maybe it does need to be disassembled and cleaned, that would make sense if it's possible. I believe the manual says it never needs to be cleaned, which may mean it's built in such a way that disassembly is a PITA.
