Hello. I have a top loading Maytag washing machine that must be about 15 years old???? Anyhow it has recently developed a "lint" problem. Leaving lots of junk on the finished wash. Would there be a filter I haven't known about for the past 15 years? Thanks so much! Regards, Bridie

Usually there is a longish filter that has to be cleaned time and again. If this hasn't been cleaned you will surely have this problem. the filters are usually on the surface of the drum it will bulge out, teh manual will certainly help u check it out. Also check if the drain pipe has an obstruction either due to some residue of cloth fiber

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
