Hotpoint Tumble Dryer Fluff Lint Mesh FilterC00862452

What is a fluff filter in a washing machine?

A fluff filter, also known as a lint filter or lint trap, catches lint, fibres, and other debris that separate from clothes during the wash cycle. It is typically located near the front or top of the machine and can be easily removed for cleaning. 

The filter helps prevent lint from clogging the drain pump or getting re-deposited on the clothes, ensuring better washing performance and reducing the risk of clogs in the plumbing system.

What happens if you don't change the lint filter?

A clogged filter restricts water flow, making the washing machine less efficient and increasing wash times and water consumption. The accumulated lint and debris can lead to odours and transfer onto clean clothes. 

Neglecting the filter can result in debris buildup in the drain pump or plumbing system, leading to blockages and costly repairs.
