Setup and Installation (Replacement)

This lint filter is a replacement part for your washing machine's drain pump. The installation process typically involves replacing an existing, worn, or damaged filter. Always ensure the washing machine is unplugged and drained before attempting any maintenance or replacement.

1. Safety First: Disconnect the washing machine from the power supply and turn off the water supply.
2. Locate the Drain Pump Filter: The drain pump filter is usually located at the bottom front of the washing machine, often behind a small access panel or cover. Refer to your washing machine's specific user manual for the exact location.
3. Drain Residual Water: Place a shallow pan or towels under the filter area to catch any residual water that may drain out when the filter is removed.
4. Remove the Old Filter: Carefully unscrew or unlatch the old lint filter by turning it counter-clockwise. Pull it out gently. Be prepared for some water to spill.
5. Clean the Housing: Inspect the filter housing for any debris or blockages and clean it thoroughly.
6. Insert the New Filter: Insert the new DL-pro lint filter (Model 2872700100) into the housing. Ensure the rubber O-ring is properly seated to create a watertight seal.
7. Secure the Filter: Turn the filter clockwise until it is securely tightened. Do not overtighten.
8. Restore Power: Close the access panel, reconnect the washing machine to the power supply, and turn on the water supply.
9. Test: Run a short rinse cycle to check for leaks and proper drainage.

Operating Principle

The DL-pro lint filter operates as a passive filtration component within your washing machine's drain pump system. During the drain cycle, water from the washing drum flows through the pump and then through this lint filter before being expelled. The filter's fine mesh and basket design effectively trap lint, fibers, small coins, buttons, and other foreign objects that may have been left in clothing or accumulated during the wash cycle. This prevents these particles from reaching and damaging the drain pump impeller or clogging the drain hose, ensuring smooth and efficient water removal from the machine.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning of the lint filter is crucial for maintaining your washing machine's performance and preventing drainage issues. A clogged filter can lead to poor drainage, extended cycle times, or even machine malfunction.

Cleaning Procedure:

1. Preparation: As with installation, ensure the washing machine is unplugged and the water supply is off. Have towels and a shallow pan ready.
2. Access the Filter: Open the drain pump filter access panel, usually located at the bottom front of the machine.
3. Remove and Drain: Slowly unscrew the filter counter-clockwise. Allow any trapped water to drain into the pan.
4. Clean the Filter: Remove any lint, hair, or debris from the filter basket. You can rinse it under running water. Use a soft brush if necessary to remove stubborn residue.
5. Clean the Housing: Wipe down the filter housing area inside the machine to remove any slime or debris.
6. Reinstall: Insert the clean filter back into its housing and screw it in clockwise until it is hand-tight. Ensure a snug fit to prevent leaks.
7. Final Steps: Close the access panel, restore power and water supply.

Recommended Cleaning Frequency: It is recommended to clean the lint filter every 1-3 months, or more frequently if you wash heavily soiled items, pet bedding, or notice any drainage issues.
