426451P Genuine Lint Filter Assembly for Fisher & Paykel Top Load Washing Machines, Replacement Washer Lint Trap

Part 426451P is the genuine Fisher & Paykel lint filter assembly for top load washing machines, supplied packed as a complete unit. It catches fluff and threads from the wash water before they settle back onto your clothes. If your old filter has split, lost its clip or gone missing altogether, this is the part to replace it. Check the number on your existing filter, or your washer's model number, before ordering.

Why a top loader needs a working lint filter

As a top loader agitates and recirculates water, loose fibres and fluff come off the clothes. The lint filter traps that material so it can be emptied after the wash. When the filter is damaged, clogged solid or missing, you'll find lint and pet hair stuck to dark clothes, grey residue in the bowl, and more fluff and debris getting through to the rest of the machine. A cracked frame or torn mesh can't be repaired well, so a new filter is the simple fix. Clean it out regularly to keep it working.

Fitting and caring for the filter

With the washer turned off, remove the old filter from its housing and clean out any fluff or grit left behind. Line up the new filter the same way and press it in until it sits firmly in place, since a loose filter can come free during agitation. Every few washes, empty the trapped lint and rinse the mesh under the tap so water keeps flowing through it.
