Note that this filter of question is a filter/strainer to protect from debris getting into the pump. It's NOT a "traditional" type of recirculating filter to catch lint out of the wash / rinse water while the machine is tumbling/washing/rinsing the clothes -- it has absolutely no function in that regard. |

I know that others also pointed this out, other note,, this pump protector should not be slimy or stinky inside, if it is you are not doing your laundry properly and you are not getting clean clothing from this washer.
I have seen many pump protectors like the one DADoES posted, and these are always the users that say they have to use unscented detergent because they have allergies to perfume when it is really MOLD, FILTH and BACTERIA that they are allergic to, LOL. |

Could it be that the reason washer manufacturers do not include common-sense type features like an access panel to the pump screen on their machines for the US market is because they are afraid of possible litigation? I mean, the US is the most litigious society in the world as far as I know. I also read on here about Miele's 1 year guarantee for the US market as opposed to it's traditional 10-year guarantee elsewhere. Perhaps this is for the same reason?
Electrolux did not equip it's Frigidaire machines with a pump screen access panel. The entire front panel of the washer, including the boot, must be removed in order to access the screen. The Electrolux machines sold elsewhere have this feature, to my knowledge. This is a very sad state of affairs.... |

in 9 years since I've had my Duet, that has used it. I won't let anyone else do laundry. I've always checked pockets religiously and in the 9 years I have checked the pump like 3 times, I stopped checking it because every time I did, there was nothing at all in there other than a we bit of lint; not enough to even worry with.
That pic that DADoES posted is just pure funk all out nasty. If cleaning that mess out doesn't fill the void, NOTHING WILL! |
