After that there is a product you can put in your washer and run a cycle to clean it.
You may want to check the manual for your particular model. I haven't inspected my machine but in my manual there is no mention of disassembling and cleaning a tub filter or opening a small panel. Mine is only a few years old so things certainly could have changed.
