Using this Samsung washer lint filter is easy. First, locate the front of your washing machine. You'll find either a kick panel or a small flap. Unscrew the old filter (if there is one) and then screw in this new lint filter. It's as simple as that. When it comes to maintenance, it's a good idea to clean the filter regularly. This will keep your washing machine working at its best. As for things to note, remember that this is not the only type of pump filter used in Samsung washers. So, if you're unsure if it fits your machine, check with us before buying. Also, if you need the rubber seal for this part, you can get it separately here.
