Where is the lint trap in my GE Spacemaker Laundry stackable washer/dryer?
Question:I feel like an idiot. My boyfriend and I moved into a new apartment which has the above mentioned washer/dryer. We have looked long and hard for the lint trap, but have not found it. Can someone help me locate the elusive lint trap? :)
Thanks!
Answers:
Many of the new washers don't have a lint trap. Much to my surprise. There were a lot of lint ballson clothes after drying. The service tech said to use the warm/warm setting and if you have a cotton seting use that also. Apparently warm water and softer agitation reduces the amount of lint created.
He seems to have been right but I still wish we had a real lint filter.
Mine is in the upper right hand corner inside of the dryer. I could not find mine for the longest time either, but finally did. They fill pretty quickly too, so you should clean it out once every 7-10 days depending on the amount of laundry you do.
IF IT CAME WITH THE PLACE..I WOULD ASK THE LANDLORD. AS FOR CLEANING YOUR TRAP EVERY 7-10 DAYS AS THE OTHER PERSON SAID..I WOULD CHECK IT AFTER EVERY LOAD. THAT COULD START A FIRE IF NOT EMPTIED FREQUENTLY. IT SCARES ME TO THINK THE OTHER PERSON ONLY CHANGES HERS THAT OFTEN, AS IT CAN BECOME BUILT UP ON THE INSIDE OF THE LINT TRAP.
If i knew what model number I cold help more. But try the top as the other person said, or when you open the door is should could also be there and the lip of the door. (Pull up)
Washer:
Clean the filter at the bottom of the agitator after
every load for the best filtering results.
NOTE: The load type will vary
the amount of lint build-up.
To clean:
1. Lift off the agitator barrel.
2. Wash or wipe the filter
clean in the bottom of the
agitator barrel. The filter
is not removable.
3. Replace the agitator barrel
and snap it in to place
Dryer:
The lint screen is located inside
the dryer drum, on the back wall.
To clean:
1. Use the finger holes to pull
the lint screen straight out.
2. Lightly squeeze the body,
as shown while pulling the cover off.
3. ROLL lint off the screen with
your fingers. Do not rinse or
wash the screen.
4. Replace the cover on the body
of the lint screen.
5. Before replacing the lint
screen, remove any lint from
the wire mesh on the back
wall (behind the lint screen).
6. Push the lint screen straight
back until it snaps into place.
Hope this helps- I'm getting one of these soon.
all the way in the back against the wall, mine is on the right side.
