This is how to get access to the filter screen for the pump. Some washers have an access panel because this is a regular maintenance item, but Maytag really makes you work for it with this model.

This is a Maytag mhw8630hc, and procedure may be similar for other models. Some have a bottom facing filter and a bottom access panel so check that before starting.

!!UPDATE!!: Another user has found a good way to reach the filter from the bottom. Watch my video to get a good view of all the parts, but if you can tip up the washer and access the bottom, the new way of doing this is much easier. I think my video shows the way a service tech would do the job since the filter clearly is meant to open from the front, but sneaking around the bottom is a lot quicker!
