Description
Reduce lint and debris in your wash water with the genuine OEM Whirlpool 285868 Washer Filter Plug Kit. This kit, which includes four black rubber/plastic plugs, is designed to be installed into holes located at the bottom of the inner spin basket. This plug system effectively traps lint and small debris, helping to keep clothing cleaner and preventing the lint from passing through the pump and hoses.
Features & Benefits
- Genuine Whirlpool OEM Factory Certified Kit contains four plugs, replacing the older, discontinued round filter assembly.
- Traps lint, small objects (like coins or buttons), and debris to prevent them from recirculating onto clothing.

- Simple, tool-free installation after removing the agitator from the machine.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
- Clothes are consistently coming out of the washer covered in excessive lint or hair.

Compatibility Note
Note: While this kit replaces the filter, some newer washer models do not require these plugs. You must verify that your specific model's inner tub has corresponding holes for these plugs before purchase. Installation typically requires removing the agitator first. Always unplug the washer before starting this repair.
