Customer Questions and Answers for Washer Filter Plug Kit by Whirlpool

Kim, Yes, This high-quality, original factory replacement part is compatible with your model.

Kristin, We will need to have the model number of the washer to be able to assist with your question. Please resubmit your question with the model.

Bubba, the two filter plugs 285868 missing can cause lint and replacing them will reduce the lint.

Hello Shahnaz, according to the manufacturer, the inner tub has no provisions for these types of lint filters, so they cannot be added to your washer tub.

Hello Terry, Since the filter plate is made on the bottom of the tub, the manufacturer has determined that it is best to clean it and leave it in the unit. The filter plate is no longer available and to complicate things further, the manufacturer has also determined that the rubber inserts are not the proper size and will not work on the majority of models for which they are listed. If you purchased these from us, we recommend you call us at 1-877-477-7278 and set up a refund on them. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Hello Doug, The manufacturer has advised that the "filter plugs" are not effective and are not necessary. You should reassemble the unit without the plugs in place as per the manufacturer. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Dianne, If you go to the part number 285868 on appliancepartspros.com, there is a video under the picture of the part.

Tommy, The lint filter is a set of 4 plugs.

Cris, The manufacturer did away with the lint filters for these models and you would just install the tub without the filter.

Gil, The filter plug should just pop out and insert the new plug in to the hole that the original came out of.
