the lint trap comes with a removable tiewrap and when it gets full or half full you replace it and throw it away. It attaches to the discharge hose from washing machine. My discharge hose drains into a sink.

My Washing machine has a external drainage hose that is attached to a scrub sink by a plactic tie wrap. The lint filters advertised here attach to the end of the drainage hose with a plastic tie wrap and the water filters through the lint filter to catch the link as the hose drains. I am not aware of anything you can put inside of the washer itself to catch the lint.

These lint traps must be tied to the end of a washing machine hose that drains into a tub or other receptacle. There is no way to use these traps inside a washing machine.

You would have to have a machine that empties into a utility sink- If that is the case, you simply put the filter on the end of the outflow house, and secure it with the provided "lock on" device- It's VERY easy- The lint accumulates in the bag, when full, you simply discard it.

Hello Deena, There are two small screws that hold the unit together. These can be removed and the internal works are completely accessible for cleaning with a small hand held vac or a brush. So far, it hasn't been an issue, having gathered no lint so far. Given that these are standard in rooms in Puerto Vallarta, I have to think lint is probably not much of an issue.

Ugh, I have the same problem and lint rollers are not my friend when it comes to my dogs hair all over me. It works on clothing, the best way to do it is on a flat surface. Hope this helps :)

all you need to do is to tap in underneath the sink with a fitting to the top of the sump pump.you can stick the washing machine hose right into the top of the sump area. It is where the water will drain into the sump. you do not need to build a trap. the water stays inside the sump pump and acts as its own trap. so you can have the discharge pipe go past the trap on your sink in your garage.

sounds like you are missing a washer. Check that all your washers are there.

I have never cleaned my machine prior to using it and I don't have a problem. It still has to be better than using those yucky regular detergents on your clothes. My understanding is that the pre-cleaning is just to get rid of any residue left from regular detergent.

I happened to find some old washers about the size of a quarter. They have to be thin. First try your monitor and see if it droops. It may not. If it does, just remove vertical bolt and insert add'l washer in space. They have to be really thin!

I have a net laundry bag in the bottom of the hamper. I throw the clothes in the hamper and i suppose panty hosecould get stuck or something loosley knit, but I have no problem. I take the net bag out and fill it with the clothes and take it to the washer. Basically I like its size, chance to sit on it and looks.

I've had my Cocomotion machine since 1998 (yes, the same machine, and it still works as god as it did the first time I used it), and I've always removed it for washing (I wash, separately, the top, main unit, & magnetic "spinner"). After hand drying all three components, I place the "spinner" back inside, wrap the cord underneath, and place the top back on top, at a slight angle (to help in drying, in case I accidentally missed any drops. Considering my Cocomotion is still working 15 years later, I'd say this is a testament to not only it's longevity, but also a clear indication that you can 'store' the "spinner" in its proper location.

Well, my first question was.. how did you get lint in there? Blower works pretty fine for dust, and smaller pieces of lint. And check mirror one the camera, it could be some lint there :)

I am very satisfied with this washer. I do not know how it handles lint but it is not a problem. Black garments come out fine.

Well, let's see......when I bought new line for my clothes dryer, I got plastic coated wire.Then I pulled the line from one arm to the other, put the wire thru the next hole and again to the other side, and so on. Put a knot on one end, and when you have pulled the wire thru all the holes in both arms knot the other end.I did not worry about a different thread, it works just fine my way.Hope I was of help.Jerry

Put in the washing machine on a hot wash/warm or cold rinse. Then spread it out on the counter to dry. Don't put it in the dryer. I use 4 or 5 of them every week and I wash them this way. Don't go overboard with your detergent and they will be perfect! It is best to NOT wash them with anything else!

The lint trap filter is only a filter. You would have to adjust the setting on your dryer to no heat or air only.

I never did use this product because there was too much work involved. But I didn't see any laundry instructions. Hopefully another user will be able to answer your question. Good luck!
