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.
