How do i clean the Whirlpool Gold american collection top loading washing machine? I can see no filter to remove and the inside of the tub is getting dirty. The holes inside the tub at the top seem to be clogging up. Is there a proper way to go about cleaning it or can I just give it a scrub with bleach?

Below is for Whirlpool/Kenmore, u might find it helpful. Some machines have a small trap door on left front bottom, coin trap.

The filter on your pump is probably clogged with lint and stuff. You have to remove the bottom front panel, 3 torx screws underneath. The panel will drop and come off. Drain off the excess water from the drain pipe you see. The white filter cover is right in front. Get yourself a good plastic bag to collect water. Unscrew the filter cover and twist the filter out. Clean out all the stuff and put it back in carefully. Check your pump too, comes after the filter.

On some models the filter is located ‘inside’ the big hose from the bottom of the tub. This takes more time to clean.

This assumes that you have a basic Kenmore / Whirlpool top load, direct drive, neutral drain (it doesn't spin until the pump removes most of the water) machine.

First, see the Sears parts site for your washer:

http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/getModel!retrieve.pd?modelNumber=110.23032102&pathTaken=partSearch

and you'll see a list of major sub-components with diagrams and parts.

See the section for the basket and tub assembly's

I'd pull the cabinet in order to get to the hoses going to and from the pump first.

See the following:

I'd check the hoses for blockage, check the shaft from the motor to the pump and check inside the pump to make sure the inlet and outlet aren't blocked.

If you look at the section for the Agitator and Tub, you should see a part called the Tub Seal. This could be what is disintegrated.

See the following for how to remove the cabinet and Tub Ring in order to get to it.

Sears has part numbers for either the complete tub ring and gasket or just the gasket.

Remove two screws that hold the control panel,pull forward and lift ,tilt back. Unplug door switch and remove the gold clips that hold the back to the top of washer cabinet. Lean cabinet towards front and remove. Unsnap tub ring at top from outer tub. Remove fabric softener dispenser cup at top of agitator. Remove snapped in plastic cover and seal underneath. Remove bolt under the cover. Remove agitator. Remove spanner nut that holds drum in and remove drum.

The same thing happened to my Maytag washing machine and the first thing I checked was the air pressure hose. A small piece of tubing that ran from the bottom of the tank to the indicator for size of load. Could either be blocked or detached at one end. To access it I had go to the back of the machine. I found the diagram on the web when I search for model and "agitator not spinning". Good luck.

Next run your washer with 2 cups of bleach, hot water. After it starts agitating stop the washer & let it remain for 2 hours. Then continue the wash.

FO2 is the code for long drain. The filter on your pump is probably clogged with lint and stuff. You have to remove the bottom front panel, 3 torx screws underneath. The panel will drop and come off. Drain off the excess water from the drain pipe you see. The white filter cover is right in front. Get yourself a bunch of towels, a good big plastic bag or a wet vac to collect water. Unscrew the filter cover and twist the filter out. Clean out all the stuff and put it back in carefully.

I have a regular top loader and the lint filter is on the underside of the inner tub. You have to remove the inner tub to get to it. You might be able to find a service manual explaining this at appliancejunk.com.
