Your first instinct is probably to check the dryer, but the problem could actually be starting even earlier. Older washing machines that aren\u2019t high efficiency filter out lint and debris in the tub itself, and if the parts that do that are wearing out they\u2019ll leave a whole lot of that lint on your clothes at the end of the wash. Luckily, if this is your trouble, it isn\u2019t a tough problem to fix. The lint filter plugs you find on top-load washers are affordable parts, easy to access and replace. With our how-to guide, switching out a set of worn out plugs with new ones should only take you a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>What Is A Washer Filter Plug?<\/h2>\n<p>In this article we\u2019re dealing specifically with the filter plugs for a top-loading washer. These small, toothed plastic rings sit in the bottom of your washer\u2019s spin basket. They catch and trap lint and other debris during a wash cycle. Because these parts are made of plastic, they can break within the standard lifespan of your appliance. The prongs that catch the lint are especially prone to wearing down with regular use. If your laundry is coming out of the wash covered in lint or looking less clean than it should, it\u2019s probably that your filter plugs need to be replaced. In some extreme cases, a faulty filter plug can make your washer drain less efficiently, too. To prolong the lives of your washer filter plugs, make sure you check laundry before you load it. Remove things like coins, lip balm, gum, and anything else that could potentially damage the teeth on the plugs. You can also help the filters out by cleaning the inside of your tub regularly.<\/p>\n<h2>Finding The Right Replacement Part<\/h2>\n<p>To find compatible OEM parts, you\u2019ll need to start with your washer\u2019s model number. If you don\u2019t have your appliance\u2019s manual, you can find that information on the machine itself. Check behind the washer door, either along the wall of the front panel or on the door itself, for a sticker that lists this information. You may also find the washer\u2019s model number behind the kickplate or front access panel. Once you have that model number, type it into our search bar below to find compatible OEM parts quickly! You\u2019ll get what you need in just a few days. Filter plugs are generally sold in packs of four, but depending on the model of your washer, you may only need two. Since you\u2019re getting a four pack, even if one of your current filter plugs looks to be in good shape, you should replace them all in one go. This ensures all parts have an even amount of wear. These plugs should fit fairly easily into the larger holes at the bottom of your washer tub, so if you feel like you need to force two of them into place, it\u2019s not that you\u2019ve got the wrong part\u2013they probably just don\u2019t actually go there! We\u2019ll go into this in more detail in the step-by-step guide below.<\/p>\n<p>Older models of top-load washer may have a larger lint trap filter found beneath the agitator. These circular plastic rings can replace this old style of filter \u2013 just toss the old one and follow our guide\u2019s steps to install the new rings. High-efficiency (HE) washers, on the other hand, do not use lint traps like this, so if you have a high-efficiency washer, top- or front-loading, and you\u2019re having issues, you\u2019ll want to check the appliance\u2019s self-cleaning pump filter.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Replace A Washer FIlter Plug<\/h2>\n<p>We completed this tutorial on a Whirlpool washer, but if your appliance is a different brand, the steps outlined should still work for you! This how-to guide is specifically for top-loading washers, though, and if your machine is high efficiency, it likely does not use this part. If something in the text isn\u2019t clear, don\u2019t forget to check out our video guide above for a detailed look at exactly how this job is done!<\/p>\n<h3>Tools for the Job<\/h3>\n<p>To complete this job, you\u2019ll need just a few tools:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Flathead &amp; Phillips screwdrivers<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">7\/16&#8243; socket with ratchet and 10&#8243; extension<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Work gloves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Replacing A Top Load Washer Filter Plug<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>Before starting the repair:<\/b><\/span>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>Make sure that the appliance is completely disconnected from power<\/b> either at the wall outlet or circuit breaker. Never complete maintenance or repairs on an appliance that is still receiving power. You shouldn\u2019t need to disconnect the water supply for this job unless you\u2019re also working on other parts of the appliance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">You\u2019re going to be working mostly in the washer\u2019s tub for this one, so if for some reason there is still water in the appliance, you will want to drain it before you begin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Open the washer\u2019s lid to access the tub and remove the fabric softener dispenser from the agitator.<\/b> That\u2019s the cap on top of your agitator. You may be able to pull this off by hand, but on some washers, this cup is secured by a lock ring. Pull up on the lock ring to disengage it, and then you\u2019ll be able to remove the dispenser.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>If there is a cap beneath the fabric softener dispenser,<\/b> pry it off with a flat head screwdriver. Your washer may not have one, though.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Remove the dust cap from inside the agitator<\/b> and check it for signs of damage. This is a flat plastic component that protects the agitator from water and fabric softener. Most washers should have one. If your washer is missing its dust cap, or if the one in your washer is damaged (be sure to check the seal, too), you should replace it.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Loosen the agitator bolt. <\/b>You will need a 7\/16\u201d socket with a ratchet and a long (10\u201d) extension to reach it. While you\u2019re first loosening the bolt, reach down into the tub and steady the lower agitator with one hand. This will make it easier to get the bolt free.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Once you can tell that the bolt is free of its threads, lift the entire agitator out of the washer. <\/b>The bolt can stay in the agitator for now.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use a flathead screwdriver to pry the old filter plugs out.<\/b> Once they\u2019ve been removed, clear the area of any debris. Just wiping it down with an old towel should be fine.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Install each filter plug.<\/b> These can be pressed into place by hand. If you\u2019re meeting a lot of resistance, check the other available holes. It\u2019s likely that you only need to install two plugs, but if none of them fit, you may not have the correct size. Each plug will have a tab on the outside of the ring. Make sure that that tab points toward the center of the tub where the transmission is.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Take the bolt out of the agitator and lower the agitator back into the washer.<\/b> Make sure it\u2019s sitting properly.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Grab the agitator bolt and your ratchet with the extender and socket still attached. <\/b>Hold the bolt onto the socket with one finger and guide the bolt back into its spot in the agitator. Once it\u2019s in, you can tighten it down. You may need to steady the lower agitator again to get it sufficiently tightened.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Next up, reinstall the dust cap.<\/b> Before you slide it into place, put a very small amount of liquid detergent around the seal of the cap. This will make reinstallation a little easier, and will keep the seal from folding or flipping up.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Reinstall any remaining caps or fabric dispenser parts. <\/b>It should be as easy as snapping these components back into place!<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Alright! Now that you\u2019ve installed those new filter plugs<\/b>, it\u2019s time for a test run or two.Plug your washer back in (and turn the water supply back on if you had it turned off) and start with an empty cycle \u2013 no laundry! You\u2019ll want to check for leaks, excessive debris in the water, or a failure to drain at the end of the cycle. If everything checks out, you can get back to laundry day. Your clothes should come out a lot less linty with those new plugs in place.You\u2019re all done!
