Electrolux Washer Filter

This tub filter screens wash water as it leaves the outer tub, capturing lint and small items before they reach the drain pump. Replacing a damaged or missing filter helps restore proper draining and protect the pump from debris.

• Screens lint, threads, and small debris from water exiting the tub
• Helps prevent drain pump clogs and drain-related errors
• A clogged, damaged, or missing filter can cause slow/no drain, standing water, or pump noise
• Physical damage, broken tabs, or warping are common reasons to replace

• Disconnect power and turn off water; expect residual water—use towels or a pan
• Access location varies by model; the filter sits at the outer tub outlet along the drain path
• Release the hose clamp/retainer, remove debris and the old filter, seat the new filter fully in the port
• Reattach clamps securely and run a short drain/rinse to check for leaks and proper flow

The Filter is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines. This part traps debris, lint, and small objects that get washed out from clothes during the wash cycle. By filtering out these materials, the pump filter protects the drain pump and hose from clogs and potential damage, ensuring that the washing machine operates efficiently and the drainage system remains clear.

Causes of a bad washer pump filter can range from accumulation of lint and debris, which can clog the filter, to damage or wear that compromises its ability to filter properly.  

Symptoms of a bad filter include:

• The washing machine not draining properly or leaving clothes excessively wet
• Unusual noises from the pump area, indicating struggling or blockage
• Frequent pauses or stops during the drain cycle

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.
