Customer Questions and Answers for Pump Drain Filter by Whirlpool

Mark, to check the lint filter, you would need to remove the wash impeller and the spin basket. If the washer drains, in 60 seconds or less the washer is OK. The washer senses load sizes and adds correct amount of water for optimal cleaning, but can be overloaded, easily. Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall. Do not load above the stainless steel portion of the basket. Load with dry items only. Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed. The load will not be completely underwater. The washer senses load sizes and adds correct amount of water for optimal cleaning. Make sure you're using the proper type of detergent, and the proper amount for the soil level of the articles. Improper loading and improper use of detergent can and will produce lint or "pilling" from the articles not circulating in the water properly. Thanks,
