Using this Samsung washing machine pump lint filter is easy. First, find the front of your washing machine. You'll either see a kick panel or a small flap. Unscrew the area and then screw in this filter. When you're doing your laundry, the filter will trap lint and other debris, keeping your washing machine working well. Here are some important things to note. This filter is only suitable for certain Samsung front - load and top - load washer models. If you're not sure if it fits your machine, give us your full model number before buying. For maintenance, check the filter regularly. If it's full of lint, take it out, clean it under running water, and then put it back in. This way, your washing machine will stay in great condition and keep doing a good job for a long time.
