Thank you for your interest in the LG Top Load Washer (WT6105CW) model. The LG WT6105CW top load washer does not have a lint filter that requires cleaning. However, it is recommended to check the drain pump filter often, as lint may start to accumulate in this area. You can download its owner's manual through this link for more information: https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-WT6105CW.ABWETUS. ^Cris
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.First, let me thank the LG customer Care rep that answered the question. I looked for hours all over my machine and couldn't find one nor any information on the interwebs...now I know why, lol. Secondly, this begs the question: why not? Filters/traps make it loads easier (pun not intended) to keep the unit clean with periodic cleaning. I've done everything from cutting my loads of laundry down to half of what they were (and i never overload in the first place,) use less/more detergent made for HE washers, using vinegar instead of fabric softener, brushing a ALL clothes of with a soft bristle brush to remove any loose debris and dust to running the Tub Clean cycle and thoroughly cleaning the entirety of the tub and all surfaces inside the washer with everything from CLR to a vinegar/water only solution and I still get lint, very fine pieces of dirt/sand that end up in the creases that form in the clothes caused by spinning. Extra rinse don't work nor does only putting vinegar in the fabric softener tray at the start of the rinse cycles. And it progresses until I physically clean the machine again in 5-7 days. The only time I can get my clothes to come out clean is by putting clean clothes in the washer after I clean the machine, run the Tub Cleaning cycle and cram a loofah in side the agitator to catch some of the lint and dirt that floats around in tiny particles that aren't seen until the load is finished and I see all my clothes acted as the lint catch. It's not a fool proof method, but it makes it so I only have to spend 20 to 30 minutes thoroughly cleaning the tub area ever 10 days to two weeks...which is still twice as much as LG recommends for just running a Tub Cleaning cycle. And this happened at two locations, so it's not the water. I'm going to hook water filters directly to the hot and cold hoses behind the machine to see if that helps. This machine is a LOT of work and costs more to run than a low end 1970's Whirlpool in the long run. It gives the appearance of using less laundry detergent, but in the long run it uses a lot more because I end up having to wash clothes twice and having to use more expensive HE detergent doesn't help. It's not efficient. Like, at all. Not if you want clean clothes. It's more work by a large margin, uses more detergent as said before, and it's not even efficient on water because extra rinse always has to be run. And I'm still brushing the lint off clothes before I put them in the dryer. Just to test everything, I bought an old Amana for $25 that needed cleaning pretty bad as it sat under someone's carport for 10 years and I've been using it for a month now. Not a single issue yet after just a thorough cleaning and running two cycles of water only. And the lint trap has not really needed cleaning yet. I pull it out once every couple weeks, clean it (it does have lint and debris on it, but not enough to really require any type of cleaning,) and I wash the tub with vinegar and water twice now. Just like my LG, I leave the lid open after a wash and wipe it down with a clean towel. I've never had any foul mildew odor in either machine. As much as I'd like my LG to be my go-to washer, I think I'm going to stick with the Amana and just rip the motor out of the LG and make a belt sander or something with it. Seriously, add a lint filter. They're cheap, easy to clean in less than 5 minutes and they work. The problem with self cleaning is that it doesn't self clean. Not like it should and not as good as a human could do and that little fact right there causes problems in the long run...and by long run I mean a couple years after you have it. The problem with smart machines is that they're not very smart; they're treated like they're in the AP courses of life when they should be treated like theyve had severe head trauma and are stuck with an LD.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not that I'm aware of. It has a tub wash so what ever may be left behind willwash it away. I love this feature.
