I bought a floor model maytag bravos without a manual. How do I check lint filter because I have lint all over my clothes. I’ve used washing machine cleaners in it but it doesn’t work.
Hi, There is no mention of a lint filter, in the owner manual. However there is a drain pump filter, part #14 Basket and tub parts diagram mentioned in the parts list, which is there to trap lint from being pumped out to the drain. I don’t think that it is designed to be removed too often though. It doesn’t seem to be too user friendly trying to replace it as you will need to remove the basket etc to get to the filter. Also it is held in by screws. Are you using a HE (high efficiency) laundry detergent in the machine? The washer manufacturer recommends this type as according to what it says in the owner manual it produces the correct amount of suds required by this type of washer. It may be that other types of detergents produce too many suds and this is reflected in the wash as lint (suds not being properly rinsed from clothing). I know with my machine (different type) I use about 1/2 the recommended amount of detergent just to avoid this from happening. The other option was to add an extra rinse cycle in the wash but that is too wasteful of the water
