00605010 Generic Drain Pump Filter Universal Washing Machine Part, Replacement Pump Lint and Coin Trap Filter

Lost the filter, or found it cracked and dripping? 00605010 is a generic, aftermarket drain pump filter for washing machines. On most front loaders the filter screws into the pump housing behind a small flap at the bottom front, where it catches coins, hair clips and lint before they reach the pump impeller. Compare it with your existing filter before ordering, as pump housings differ between brands.

Washing machine not draining? Check the pump filter

The drain pump filter is the first thing to check when a washer won't drain, drains slowly or stops with water still in the drum. It traps small objects and fluff so they don't jam or chip the pump impeller. A filter that's cracked, has a damaged seal or won't screw in fully can leak onto the floor during the wash. Some people also lose the filter when cleaning it out. Running the machine without one lets debris straight into the pump, which can block or damage it.

Changing the pump filter

Turn the machine off at the wall. There may be water sitting in the pump, so put a shallow tray and towels under the filter area before opening anything. Unscrew the old filter slowly to let the water drain out, clear any debris from the housing, then screw the new filter in firmly by hand. Run a rinse and drain and check for drips.
