Abstract (en)

A washing machine with recirculated flow comprises a filter element (13, 43) which is disposed in the recirculation circuit (11) downstream of the recirculation pump (7) and above the washing tank (2), in order to prevent the blockage of a detergent-dispensing nozzle and so as to be easily removable by the user without risk of the liquid overflowing. The filter element (13, 43) may be associated with a drain-recirculation flow diverter (49, 51, 54) and enables easy inspection thereof. <IMAGE>
