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.

If your agitator is barrel shaped as illustrated, your washer has a manual clean lint filter. Clean the filter at the bottom of the agitator after every load for the 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 the agitator barrel and snap it into place.
