No lint filter. The tumbling wash action generates very little lint, which washes down the drain.

To get rid of the "yuk":

Open the access panel on the lower left corner on front of the washer.
Use small hose to drain the remaining water from machine.
Remove the pump filter next to the hose, clean it out, and replace it.
Run the washer with a commercial washer cleaner such as Affresh, washer magic, or whirlaway hot tub cleaner, no clothes, hottest longest cycle possible. Use the tub clean cycle if your model has it.
Resume washing, using one tablespoon of HE detergent per cycle. Use only 1 teaspoon of fabric softener if you use that. These machines use much less water than the old top loader ones, and thus you must use much less detergent.

I would just like to know where the filter is on a top loading speedqueen washing machine. there must be somewhere that the bits and fluff collect.

there is no filter' it's what they call a self cleaning lint filter, collects lint while washing and then on spin lint goes out with the drain water

A lot of lint left on the clothers after load finished. Rinsing twice more only helped a little. My machine is about 12 years old. Don't know model but it's a top-loading with mini-basket.

Have you ever cleaned the lint trap? many people do not realize that washing machines have lint traps too. It is usually located under the fabric softener cup in the agitator -- not sure on yours without model number. It has a lot of tiny holes in it that clog fairly easily. One trick to clean it is to put it down in the drum where the wash goes and run a wash cycle, but you may have to do a bit by hand as well. Hope this helps.

Hello. I think this is the model..it looks

Well Bridie no there is no lint filter inside your washer the only possible explanation, is either old lint and particles are coming from previous washes. or you have just washed something recently that may have come apart such as a pillow, a mat with a rubber backing, or even a blanket with any sort of fiber material in it. It is more than likely that much of the lint that goes through your machine is unseen and can cause pump issues. hope this helps.

Thanks

Clean LG WF-T652a Top Loader Washing Machine

I have this problem too and I solved it easily !!!!

I hypothesised that something was blocked by dried up lint/silt. So I filled the machine with very hot water and also poured hot water down the lint filter outlets. I left it for 5 minutes and then started a wash cycle - and the water now comes out of the lint filter ducts. ! :-)
