Lint in washer

Hi,

Unknown....Kenmore is made by several different companies....model#??

This may help....

Hi Chris,

Most newer washers have little or no lint filtration, and the Whirlpool/Kenmore top loaders recently dropped even their small 'self-cleaning' one (basically just a round plastic 'comb' under the tub). The earlier designs weren't accessible for cleaning anyway. FWIW, I never saw a lot of lint caught in these filters, so they either did a good job of self-cleaning or a lousy job of lint collecting .

From what Whirlpool has told us, the engineering dept now assumes you'll use the dryer on every load, and they count on the dryer's lint system to handle it.

I'll bet you're hang-drying laundry, at least occasionally, right? In most lint complaints I get, that's the case. It's not the best solution, I know, but using the dryer more should help.

Hope that's of some help.

God bless,
