2. It sounds like tearing it apart to get to the filter

is going to be routine maintenance for the life of that washer.

The only filter my old Kenmore has is when I put a piece of stocking over the end of the drain tube to catch fiber when I process raw fleece in it.

The only other thing I can suggest is buying a Velcro pet hair brush and getting rid of as much of it as possible before things go into the washer. Then maybe you will only have to pick it apart once a year.
