I'm renting a place with a toploader Fisher & paykal washing machine and it's driving me mad leaving fuzzy bits all over my clothers everytime I wash :curse: I think the filter is probably blocked but I've looked everywhere and can't find one Can anyone point me in the right direction before I throw it out the window

If I remember rightly, it is under the bottom of the machine - one of those silly spring clip jobs which you push together to release.

Isn't it in the part that sticks up in the middle of the drum? You need to pull it out I think. That is where all of mine have been unless there is another filter.

Thanks, I'll have another look, that would certainly be preferable to being underneath, that would be very entertaining to find on my lonesome (must have been designed by a man )

Now, have you definitely taken all the tissues out of the trouser pockets before you put them in to wash ?

Honestly, I have to explain the basics to women....

Touche! Point taken! Now if I do find that the filter is underneath you will have to come and lift, me being a hopeless female and all that

Toploader Washing Machines..... are one of the reasons Aussies are for ever present wearing crumpled up 'daggy' clothes.

Let it be..

Well, I'm not an experts on washing machines, but if they have put the filter UNDERNEATH the washing machine, it wasn't designed by a man, it was designed by a f**ing idiot (of unspecific gender).

It must be in the drum like a previous poster said.

And I still blame the fluff and gunk on those tissues you forgot to take out of the trouser pockets.

Pollyana

Top loaders in general were designed by a man, no woman could be that stupid

:curse: looked and it's not in the drum........hmm, weight lifting or fuzzy clothes, now it's not a hard choice is it

Hey!! Women spent 2000 years scrubbing their clothes on the banks of a river. At no point did one of them think "Hang on, this electiricity thing we keep hearing about could be used to power a drum full of water to wash clothes"!!

Yes, it was probaly a man who designed a washing machine with the filter underneath but I bet it was his wifes idea . She nagged him into doing it. "Why put the filter on the side?" she would say, "just put in underneath, we'll never need it"


"Yes dear"

I dont think they have one, I'm sure Our Whirlpool doesn't. The fluff is supposed to be rinsed out with the water. Only real problem I have with that is when one of kids leave something obnoxious in the pockets and we fail to spot it.

the one in mine is attached to the upper side of the drum it also has another one underneath where only an octopus could get it!

Those fisher paykal ads for top loaders and dishwashers really do my head in! who puts their plates in a bottom drawer! and who takes washing out of a front loader one bit at a time:curse:

sasbear

so it isn't just me that gets annoyed then.

I hate it when she puts the wash basket on the top of the front loader and says 'you think they would have found an easier way...' THEY have - put the flipping basket on the floor beneath the front loader door and open - pull out into basket - hey F****ing presto:curse:

asher

ah a fellow sufferer! my point exactly!

why do they show women as brain dead in these ads?

I have been banned from shouting at them any more
