“I bought one of these 4 months ago and I'm having a lot of issues with the lint filter. We empty it every cycle but we're still running into an issue with lint build up backing up the water supply. What are we supposed to do to avoid that?”

Try rinsing the filter screen and the foam filter with water more often. The rinsing of the filters is not required every cycle but depending on how many cycles the machine runs. So for example if your machine is operating 6 cycles or more per day you may want to start with the rinsing of the filters every few days to see how that goes and adjust accordingly. If you have lint built up on the evaporative coil fins you will need to find a brush, I got mine at a home improvement store, look for a long cylindrical telescoping brush to clean the fins but be VERY careful to not bend the fins. As bent fins will cause damage to the coil causing the machine to poorly dry. Also don’t forget to check the pump filter located at the bottom right corner. Consult instructions before attempting this or you will have a rather large puddle on the floor. You may also want to consult a professional plumber to make sure your drain waste line is capable of handling the discharge from the machine. This sounds more to me as a waste line problem not a problem with the machine. The newer HE machines discharge at a higher volume to reduce cycle run time. Which is great; but not great for older plumbing systems that are not up to current plumbing code standards.
