Whirlpool washing machine filter socket

[Noyade]

An old Whirlpool front-loading washing machine we have has a filter that should be removed and cleaned regularly, but with age, arthritis and past finger injuries - I'm finding it harder and harder to remove (especially being so low to the ground), clean and replace with enough torque to prevent leaking.

Until today.

I made a 'socket' to fit exactly the handle shape.

Patent Pending. 😁

Hi @Noyade,

A bit of ingenuity on your behalf. I'm sure your back and those bruised and battered hands will thank you.

Thank you for sharing.
