Combo Unit - Lint Issues

At a Glance

LG all-in-one washers do not have a lint filter that requires cleaning. However, it is recommended you check the drain pump filter often, as lint may start to accumulate in this area.

Try This

➜Clean the drum and door gasket

If the gasket has not been cleaned for a while, lint or other materials may be transferred to clothing.

For information on using the tub clean cycle please see our How to Perform a Tub Clean article.

➜Sort laundry fabric type

Separate laundry that can form a lot of lint (towels, diapers, wool clothes, etc.) from laundry that can attract a lot of lint (synthetic laundry) before drying.

➜Remove paper and lint from pockets

Make sure that there is no lint-causing tissue paper or foreign objects in any pockets in the laundry.

➜Clean the drain pump filter

Remove lost items and any lint and debris from the pump filter. To clear any buildup, wash thoroughly by hand with a soft brush or sponge.
