Cleaning Whirlpool 6th sense filter

[@GloriaPalmer-md1xu]

Thank you so much. I'm staying at Air B in Albania and have never seen one of these machines. I need to be here a couple weeks while waiting for my apartment, so really needed to know how to clean the filter. I had been told that the dryer won't work if it's full of water, which makes sense. But, nothing in the manual showed how to do it. You are an ANGEL! Thank you.

[@Ladyevitabush]

Thank you so much! The smell after washing is finally gone. You’re my hero!

[@Nitah89]

Thank you for showing this. Mine's a newer machine but that black screw/filter lid looks exactly like mine. I tried unscrewing it, thinking it would be just dry lint in there that I could vacuum, but it wouldn't budge. At least now I know to be prepared for some water coming out when I finally get it open. 😅 (And the annoying part is, there's no explanation or pictures of this in the manual!!)

[@BorbasBence]

Yes, the manual has a QR code which took me to the website where I could find the very same manual that I had on paper (with the same QR code inside) :D It also mentions a "detailed guide" downloadable from the website but at this point I feel like that detailed guide never existed.

[@rubdirtonit6734]

We have a W10175588C in our RV and the filter was in the same place. Thanks for the help! We're back in business.

[@oldmonkwins2083]

Kool! I have a whirlpool 6th Sense 9kg washer. Had no idea where the lint collector was hidden. Got it now. 👍🙏

[@crossroadsfontainebleau5573]

Thank you so much. So simple, yet couldn't find how to clean the filter on any Whirlpool site!

[@cathy_edmunds]

Mine's an older machine (AWO/R 4205), but filter was in the same place, so this was very useful. Thank you.

[@timrosenthal46]

Thank you... 15+ years and I didn't know this was there ..lol

[@أحمدالعنزي-ب4ه]

Thank you man my mom thanked me for this help

[@ben1976morris]

Brilliant video. Just unblocked the filter on mine, plastic a tenner and fluff in it! Cheers for making it an easy fix.

[@bootsowen]

Thanks buddy, you can stick that tenner in the post!

[@ben1976morris]

bootsowen think you do deserve a pint or 2 out of it mate!!

[@MalekMalek-fx3oe]

Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo

[@jackpotconnolly]

This looks great but my fascia panel doesn’t just pop off like that. Trying to pry it for ages now.

[@bootsowen]

Pull harder. Some of them are well stuck

Wao cuánto material y lo mucho que nos nutrimos los técnicos con todos esos valiosos videos que tienen ,gracias desde Rd Santo Domingo por tan buen material con esas buenas información que dan a través de KZbin, bendiciones

[@knudsan]

Thank you so much!👏👏👏

[@bootsowen]

You're welcome!

[@claudefradette368]

A million thanks man, you’re the greatest !

[@SolarWebsite]

I have a Whirlpool AWO 967 Green, and I was unable to find where the filter was located. Your video helped me out greatly. I do want to make a "complaint, though. In your video, the filter looks clean. Totally unrealistic!!! 😉

[@bootsowen]

Yeah, I find them and make a video, sometimes there is money, most often nothing, but I always make a video cos it seems to help lots of people out. about 30 of those filter vids on my channel now.

[@armarra]

G'day, I have a similar modern machine. Forums say that lint does accumulate on these and it occured to me that the lint filter doesn't look like it filters much at all.. there's no grating or mesh like I've seen on other front loaders. I just wonder if these are more for very large bits of debris rather than lint. What lint would these trap? Seems to me the lint won't get trapped by anything in that chamber. Yes mine looks the same as yours and it's a whirlpool combo.

[@bootsowen]

Yes. More of a coin trap. The combi washer dryers don’t really have a lint trap.

[@nazimaljanabi9606]

Hello, may I know what is the current spade and what does it do?

[@harrisonp3727]

Good know the access port for the pump filter for whirlpool.

[@MaaartyMcFly]

Is this a combo washer dryer?

[@spawnns1]

Saved me life. Thank you 👏👏

[@bootsowen]

Great to hear!

[@stevesorandom9803]

Thank you!

[@nazimaljanabi9606]

Hello, may I know what the maintenance is and what it does?

[@sivarathinam217]

Thanks you very much😇😃😃😃👍and good by

[@bootsowen]

No problem 😊

[@tomasvlk9224]

Thank you very much this helped me a lot!

[@easyenglish8744]

Thank u so..mch..it ws vry hlpful vdo

[@TheUmyazan]

Thank you 🙇, you made it very easy

[@kamehamehadouken9]

How often should this be done on a machine that is used almost daily?

[@bootsowen]

How long is a piece of string? If you have fairly clean clothes and check pockets then rarely. But if you leave coins and keys and tissues etc in your pocket then more often. 6 months? What does your manual say?

[@ewapawlikowski8821]

Very useful video. Thank you.

[@M1gas]

useful, thanks

[@Miss-Hellcat666]

Thank you, this was super helpful! 🤘😁🤘

[@dafti28]

Thanks for hepl 🎉

[@dean1688]

Do you have any idea to clean filter for model of whirlpool Wd13r?

[@bootsowen]

Have a look at my washing machine filters playlist. Some machines have them hidden inside, I show how to do this but there are many different models. Let me know if you need any more help

[@missrudakropka]

Perfect 👌 cheers

[@jennakenneally7215]

Can you help me please! I have this model and when I removed the cap a small blue tube fell out and I'm not sure whether it needs to go back anywhere or whether it was just something that wasn't meant to be in there!

[@bootsowen]

Sounds like a cotton bud straw. Probably better if you don’t put it back in.

[@andromedavenus]

Super useful video! Thanks for that! A problem though.. I did that 3 times today! Cleaned it pretty well the first time but i still get that freaking message!😭 It's driving me crazy and i have a 10 month baby with a ton of clothes to wash and a pandemic at hand.. Please... Help.

[@bootsowen]

It isn't clear from your message if you have cleaned it properly. If you have then that probably isnt the problem. I am not sure what message you are talking about.

[@CrinaCoranga]

oh, thank you, you just saved me!!

[@adeade4213]

Hello,please i need help with my whirlpool 6th sense 8kg,won't spin properly as my cloths are still soaking wet,i have checked the filter which seems to be clean.

[@bootsowen]

If it still starts a wash then it could just be overloaded or unbalanced. Take part of the load out and try a rinse cycle.

[@CasamTheAnimator]

There's another washing machine like this called Ignis Loe 9000.

[@dianehowes1183]

I've had trouble with the water not pumping out and red light saying clean filter. I do as you've shown in the video and there is nothing in the filter. It them seems to do one load OK then the same thing happens again. Any suggestions please?

[@bootsowen]

Hi, could there be something stuck between the bottom of the tub and the filter or from the filter out to the waste?

[@souadmohamed7217]

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله ممكن الله يعطيك الخير انفك يد مكان المسحوق كيف نرجعها وشكرا كثير

[@mariegubbins7417]

Can't open the filter and afraid to use force in case I break it !!! Am I right twisting it anti clockwise ?? H20 FILTER CLOG on screen

[@bootsowen]

Is H20 filter clog the filter in this video (the pump filter) or the filter on the water inlet hose, your manual should tell you.

[@UmidaAskarova-q1f]

Hello my washing machine of this model keeps turning off for 5 minutes no matter what time I set it for some reason. please help me

[@dark1y]

Can you do this when the machine is on and active?

[@bootsowen]

Water will come out, and depending on where you are in the cycle it may abort, Why would you want to?

[@crepkey]

Great upload bro!

[@dom.schvrf1525]

Have i turn it of from electycity pls? Its hard to get there(((

[@bootsowen]

?

[@dianeford212]

my on/off switch has come loose, how do i go about putting it back into place, is it something I could do myself?

[@bootsowen]

I don't know what you are capable of! ;-) Unplug it, take the cover off and have a look inside. I guess it depends on how it has broken and what skills you have. Don't leave the machine unattended with the top off, especially if you have kids around. But whatever you do is up to you.

[@jamessimmonds812]

@@bootsowen Loads of people with this issue - a video on how to remove the front panel would be really useful....

[@bootsowen]

Hi James, I filled this machine with concrete. However, I think that I posted a few videos about how to remove the circuit board on this machine when I was trying to get it going. So that one should have the information you are looking for. Maybe search for whirlpool PCB repair?

[@AntoniaDemetriou-l9g]

Even though I have a different model the filter was at the same place. It was very clean but for some reason every now and then my washing machine gets a red notification for water so I thought it was the specific filter but as I said it was very clean. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening ? I did check and I always had water in the house so it’s not water matter. Thanks in advance.

[@elenasofenet2017]

What happend if is clean and still have red light on it and water inside ?

[@bootsowen]

it must be blocked somewhere else

[@Optimista1234]

Dude, you have to take out the filter COMPLETELY and wash it.

[@bootsowen]

why?

[@Optimista1234]

@@bootsowen Because there can be dirt still. At least in mine there was.

[@bootsowen]

It is important to take out large particles, but if there is any sludge or grime on the filter or inside then it is likely that all of the hoses and inside the drum is dirty too. So really you would need to do a few hot washes to flush out the sludge. Also. The drain pump is on the way out of the machine so if it is dirty then that dirt won’t come in contact with your clothes. So tell me again why?

[@iblendallday]

It doesn't pop up so.easely on new generation ones

[@dawnleatherlandhunt8722]

What are you going to do with it

[@bootsowen]

Just this video nothing more.

[@seaniedan]

@@bootsowen I think Dawn meant, what is Ben going to do with the £10 he found. I hope he gave it to charity!

[@robn1103]

I have the same machine

[@Ringrostig]

My filter refuses to move =( I can only move it about 90 degrees counter clockwise before it just stops, and no amount of force lets me screw it further, the instructions that came with the machine are horrendous and doesn't even apply to my machine, and just say "move it counterclockwise while pulling the filter outwards" first of all I literally can not move it more than 90 degrees, the SMALL thing that you're supposed to hold onto while screwing is the smallest shit ever and barely fits in my hand, so it's already fucking hard to even move it counterclockwise and no amount of fucking force I'm using moves it the slightest. Man I regret getting this washing machine so badly.

[@bootsowen]

I've been there, I have posted other videos on how to solve it in my washing machine filters playlist! keep wiggling it back and forth, there is something in there, If you find money it is mine! if you're really stuck search for "fix my stuck drain filter bootsowen" and you will see what to do, let me know how you get on!

[@Ringrostig]

@@bootsowen thank you very much, I'm gonna give that I try, I was trying to fix and pull for hours and I just got so frustrated, but I'll be sure to check out your other video then =) also it's genious to use a wrench like that, ;_; I just hope I dont have to tilt the machine, because there's a dryer ontop of it, they're connected with like a sort of.. belt? or w/e and it's standing on a anti-vibration table too... so hopefully the wrench and some wiggling solves it ;_;

[@Ringrostig]

@@bootsowen Thanks again, by using the wrench as an anchor and wriggling back and forth and applying a bit more pressure than I would've liked I could get the lid to open, and lo and behold, the only thing inside? A cloth mask that I thought I had just forgot somewhere :D but thanks again, really really appreciate the videos =)
