LG Washing Machine Lint Filter Parts — Models & Compatibility

If you've noticed lint buildup on your clothes or reduced water flow during the rinse cycle, your LG washing machine's lint filter might be clogged or damaged. This replacement filter (ADQ72912303) fits 16+ LG top-load washer models and directly replaces part numbers ADQ72912302 and NEA61973201.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your LG washer's model number — it's usually located inside the door frame or on the back panel near the water inlet valves. If your model number matches any in the compatibility list below, this filter will fit. Common series include WT-H, WTG, WTS, and WF-T models.

About This Replacement Lint Filter

The lint filter in your LG top-load washer captures fabric fibers, pet hair, and debris during the wash and rinse cycles. When it gets clogged, you'll see lint stuck to your clean clothes or notice the washer taking longer to drain. This filter assembly snaps into place in the agitator or wash basket — depending on your model, you'll either pull it straight up from the center column or unclip it from the side of the tub. Regular cleaning every few wash cycles keeps water flowing properly and prevents that frustrating re-wash when your dark clothes come out covered in white fuzz.

Why Replace Your Lint Filter?

Over time, lint filters crack at the mesh screen or the plastic housing breaks where it clips into the washer. You'll know it's time to replace when you can't get lint off even after rinsing the filter, or when the filter frame feels loose and wobbly. A damaged filter won't catch debris properly, and that means lint ends up recirculating back onto your clothes during the final rinse.

Quick Installation Overview

Most LG top-load washers let you access the lint filter without tools. Open the lid, locate the filter in the center agitator or along the tub wall, pull straight up or twist counterclockwise to remove the old filter, then snap or twist the new one into place. The whole swap takes about 30 seconds once you've found where your specific model positions the filter.
