It does not appear to have a lint filter built in. Anyone know this problem?
There are mesh screen lint traps that attach to the end of the drain hose.
Check Home Depot or Lowe's.
There are a couple of things that you could try; the first potential cause is a slow drain problem. To test, fill the washer to the maximum level, then turn the timer to spin and time 90 seconds. If the water isn't completely pumped out, you have some blockage in the drain. The water drains slow and leaves lint on the clothes.
The second thing that you can check that may cause lint is water pressure, especially cold, since that is what is used for the rinse. Check the screens at the water inlet valve and make sure they are clean and open.
Sure hope this helps and best wishes.
Hi
This issue usually occurs due to kinked drain pipe, clogged
drain filter or drain pump. First make sure that the drain is not clogged and
remove clogs if present. If no visible lint is present then remove the lower
front access panel to check the drain filter and drain pump for any clogs,
you'll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump completely. Hope this
helps... Please post back for any further assistance.

Thanks for the assistance, but the problem is not lint on the clothes or anywhere in the washer. It is in the sink it drains into; it seems to put out about five times as much lint as I've ever seen, and I've twice had my drains snaked out because of lint clogs.
