How do we clean out aerator on hot water supply to washing machine?

our water heater broke down and our pipes are all blocked with the bits that came thru the hot water. i need to know where to find the aerator that screens the hot water coming into our washing machine so i can clean it out.How do we clean out aerator on hot water supply to washing machine?
Turn off the water supply to the washer. Remove the hoses. There is a screen inside the hose connections on the back of the washer. Before hooking back up, run some water through the hoses into a bucket to flush them out.How do we clean out aerator on hot water supply to washing machine?
If nothing else works, try using a shop vac to suck out the hot on the back of the washer.U may have to rigg different size tubing together tto get the desired effect.
it is not an aerator!! an aerator supplies air to the water,, you are looking for a screen that filters debris! its in the connector that the hose goes to..
Shut off the water to the machine. Remove both Hot and cold water hoses and soak the hoses in vinegar.
