So, our six month old Frigidaire Affinity washer stopped working properly -

after some debates about whether we were loading it properly, my husband decided it wasn't draining properly. He tore into it, and found a filter ahead of the pump - absolutely packed with dog hair! I mean, it was in there in a solid mass!

So - if I want to keep my washer working, I guess I have to start brushing the dogs better!

my husband took it apart and emptied the filter which I never knew was there. Guess that's why it's so great to have a hubby that can fix almost anything. Imagine having to pay someone to clean the filiter out of your washer! Glad your problem was fixable and you had a handy husband too.
