Lint filters

Your washer has a self-cleaning lint filter (requires no cleaning by you) or a manual clean lint
filter. Check the shape of your agitator to see if you need to clean your lint filter.

ABOUT YOUR FILTER
MAGIC CLEAN* lint filter
(5 and 8-cycle models)
This lint filter requires no cleaning. (The lint filter
at the bottom of the washer basket cleans itself.)
During agitation, wash and rinse water pass over
the filter, separating the lint from the water. The
lint is then spun away from the filter and out of
the system during the spin part of the cycle.
If your washer drains into a tub, remove any
lint collected in the tub or strainer.
Manual clean lint filter
(4-cycle models)
NOTE: If your agitator is barrel shaped with 5 fins
at the base, your filter requires no cleaning.
If your agitator is barrel shaped with 4 fins at the
base, your machine has a manual clean lint filter.
Clean the filter at the bottom of the agitator after
every load for best filtering results.
To clean:
1. Lift off the agitator barrel.
2. Wash or wipe the filter clean in the bottom of
the agitator barrel. The filter is not removable.
3. Replace agitator barrel. Snap it into place.
