A washing machine includes a tub (2), a draining circuit (16) fluidly connected to the tub (2) for draining fluid from the tub (2), a recirculation circuit (10) fluidly connected to a lower portion of the tub (2) for recirculating fluid from the lower portion of the tub (2) into the tub, and a filter element (28, 28′, 28″) at an inlet (14) of the recirculation circuit (10) for preventing foreign objects from entering the recirculation circuit. The filter element (28, 28′, 28″) includes at least one filter aperture for letting fluid pass. The at least one filter aperture extends to a lateral border of the filter element (28, 28′, 28″), such that the at least one filter aperture comprises an opening in its perimeter and/or the at least one filter aperture (34a-e) forms a-at least two filter fingers (35a-d, 35a′-d′, 35a″-f′) spaced from one another. |
