Using this Samsung washer pump lint filter is easy. First, locate the front of your washing machine. You'll find a place to install the filter, either behind the kick panel or a small flap. Simply screw the filter into this spot. When it comes to maintenance, check the filter regularly, especially after several washes. If it's full of lint, clean it out by rinsing under running water. As for precautions, remember that this isn't the only type of pump filter for Samsung washers. Make sure to double - check your washer model number with us if you're unsure it's the right fit. And since we've been in the appliance parts business for over 25 years, you can trust our advice and the quality of this part.
