Hi All,
I have a brand new Maytag Bravos washer. It is the high energy adgitator-less toploader. This morning while taking the laundry out, my girlfriend noticed a small button from one of my shirts in the basket. When she reached for the button it slipped under the adgitator nub / Plate that's in the bottom. When I called the Maytag people, they said there is a filter that would probably catch buttons and pennys and things.

Does anybody know how to get pennys and buttons out of this filter and if it is easily acessable? I am reasonably handy with tools, but I don't want to charge right in and break my new expensive washer. I also can't really afford the $130 I was quoted for a service call.

Any help or insight would be appreciated.

Colin

Let it go my good man it will go through the filter, and out the drain. Tom ApplianceEducator.com

So you're saying let it ride? That's kind of my feeling as well. Since posting yesterday, I have talked to the Maytag people and My girlfriend talked to a guy at Home Depot who was very educational. He was tipping floor models over to show here where the parts were and where the button is probably hiding. A washing machine has to be able to handle a button or a penny, right? Otherwise we'd be going thru appliances like pieces of toast.

We're new home and appliance owners so things like a button in the washer are a bit unnerving.
