So I have an Amana washing machine with the same type of lint filter referenced in the Hotpoint ad. I recall the JC Penney brand washers in the 70s had the same filter set up. How effective were these filters? When I watch my Amana do its thing, all is fine until the spin cycle. The filter is located directly above the tub, and when it engages into the spin cycle (there is no neutral drain), the tub water spins up into the filter that spills back into the tub. Not very effective..?!
