Thank you! I’m so glad it helped you!

Thank you so much I searched all over to find this trap and I was lucky to stumble on to your podcast.

Thank you. People kept telling me that this washer didn't have a filter in it. So we've been dealing with a smell for about three years now. You were the ONLY person we found that went beyond basic tips to just wipe down the rubber gasket. All clean now!!! Thank you!

Great video, works perfect, exactly where the filter trap is on our Maytag and it's almost too easy. Mine had 3 hex head screws. The SD error we'd been getting disappeared. Some Maytag washers have the drain in the middle of the machine, facing sideways, those require removing the back panel, which isn't super difficult. Clothes now come out very clean and without a strong residual detergent odor, which had to be due to the machine being unable to properly drain water and perform a good rinse.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Had watched another video, must have been different model, because lots of stuff had to be removed for access and then the pump/filter was back inside . Before I disconnected everything and dragged unit out to the garage to work on, thought I'd watch another video. SCORE. You were right on the money. Only a couple minor differences, #20 torx screw instead of phillips head, and, after tugging for a couple minutes after removing two screws, saw a third screw at middle of panel. Thanks again.

What is your model number?

U deserved WAY MORE HITS omg. Im glad Maytag made improvements n easier to clean out the drain. THANKS TO YOUR VIDEO N HUMOR I HAVE CONFIDENCE TO DO THIS JOB.

Utter brilliance! Couldn't find any information on how to get to that filter, was facing 5 days of technician wait. Thank you!

Your video was spot on. I cleaned mine. My mistake was…I poured water in my machine before I put the plug back in. Yep it was a little messy. Thanks again for sharing.

Much appreciation. I've had my washer/dryer 5000 combo for about 15 years and just today it started showing the F21 error and wouldn't drain. Found your video and pulled my filter. It was full and then some. Worked just fine after a cleanup. One comment to add, the placement of this filter is so dumb, you really get water everywhere, especially when your drum is not draining. Make sure you have some large tupperware or something to catch all the drippings and be prepared to take apart your stands to mop things up LOL.

Your TIP IS GREAT! Yes, it is hard to catch the water that drains out. Agreed, the placement is dumb!!! So happy this video helped you!

I have looked for that forever….THANK YOU FOR SHARING

Ours was so bad that the washer wouldn’t drain. It hadn’t been cleaned for probably 8 years. As you mentioned, there’s NOTHING in the user guide that mentions this trap and the need to clean it. Shame on Maytag for leaving out this important maintenance step! Be prepared for a significant amount of water to come out when the trap is opened. The smell was awful. Nice video!

Thank you! Isn't it satisfying knowing how to fix this yourself now? Congrats! Yes, so strange they don't mention this.

@@adobson100 Indeed! It also helps to tip the washer up and rest it on something to prevent water from spilling out. I used a hand pump to suck out the remaining water just to be sure.

We started having drain issues and a F 21 error. Don’t know we had a filter hidden. Pulled the panel and filter and it was plugged solid. Small sock, change, hair ties, email hair and just slimy junk. Cleaned it up and issues is resolved. Thanks for the great informational video.

Yay bigrsmith! I'm so happy this video helped you! Who knew, right??? Glad you fixed it.

Thanks for the video ❤ just FYI I had to use a 1/4 socket to unscrew mine because of the screws were hexagon. Also after pulling off the panel I used it as a drip pan to catch any water and gunk and it caught everything. Now I’m running a load of wash to see how it goes before putting that panel back on

Thank you! Saved me a lot of trouble.

"you don't need to watch a KZread video... " While I watch a yt video. 😝

great video thanks

Thank you

Don’t forget to twist twist twist works every-time

This is the short version, lol. Clean all parts!!

Awesome video. I have a Maytag MHW5630HC0 washer and I'm trying to figure out if I can also access the drain filter from the front of the washer. Do you have the same washer or a different model? Thanks!

thank you! girl power woohoo!🎉❤

Thanks 🙏

Thank you. Just cleaned my trap, but it was practically empty. Only a quarter and bits of a broken pen. Where is all the lint???

I absolutely hate my Maytag front loader set. I've replaced so many parts on my dryer I can't even count. The washer would suck socks through the rubber boot and get clogged in the filter..... regularly.... I got tired of jacking the machine up. Draining the water and cleaning the filter.

You’re cute! 😍 Thanks for the vid!💪🏾

Thx thx thx....so greatful...so much cuter than my hairy maint man

I am so frustrated. I have a top load maytag and this is the only video I can find. I got the panel off and that handy little filter isn't THERE. 😡

You are just adorable

The "DEEP STATE". Love it!!!!

How can I release the spring? I’ve tried the screwdriver and it won’t come off!

Thank you!!!!!

What is your model? Mine is MAH6700AWW and could not locate it!!

What is the right tool to open it? My screwdriver doesn't seem to work

Mine was Torx. I have a Maytag MHWE450WW01. No mention of this in the user manual PLUS three Torx screws. Needs to be done 3-4 times a year but Maytag doesn't tell you and requires a Torx screwdriver. Thank you @adobson100 for posting this.

My washer has been leaking from somewhere in thr front and I highly suspect it's from this trap being full of dog hair....

Good video but PLEASE turn your phone horizonal for making videos!

Your husband or boyfriend is cheating on you. Maybe both. But I'm here for you! Wow. And good info about whatever you're talking about. 😙

THE RIGHT TO REPAIR!!! Yesterday I was on the phone with Maytag to ask how to get the damn hex screws off that hold the front panel in place and that I wanted to clean the filter. No, no, no, no, no was their reply. Not recommended! MUST call a certified Maytag repairman to do that. Fat chance that I need a repair person to unscrew 3 screws and clean a filter. Shame on #Maytag.

Don't think you mentioned that it takes a special star head on the driver lol. Beware these videos

That was so HOT.Could you were a tool belt next time?
