Maytag a 606S suds saver washer
Yes, the lint filter is in the center of the agitator. There’s no other filters to clean in this machine, and you shouldn’t be getting any buildup internally in the machine if you’re using enough detergent and reasonably warmer hot water to wash in.
I would not attempt to take the washer apart to clean it, unless you’re in for a major project, this machine does not need any periodic maintenance. John | ||

You'll have to really muscle it out if the filter hasn't been removed in decades. Filling the tub all the way up with the hottest possible water (crank up your water heater beforehand) and letting it soak for 20-30 minutes will help considerably. The filter will be completely plugged up so find a suitable container (I've used a large vase) to soak in vinegar for a week or so while scrubbing it with a stiff toothbrush everyday until it's squeaky clean. Don't use a sharp object to poke through the holes, it'll mess it up and it won't filter as efficiently.
