Hotpoint WF530 1300 washing machine?

Can you tell me where the filter is on the Hotpoint wf530g washing machine, I've removed the front bottom panel but there is a red cover over where the filter should be which I can't remove, My machine is leaking and keeps stopping before it reaches final spin and I can't find this information in my instruction manual, thanks

try cleaning out the filter first as they become blocked and look at the drain pipe for blockages
