Hoover Quattro Whisper 1400 washing machine AE 240 I would like to clean the filter as scum builds inside the rubber seal on the door Cant find the filter, no obvious opening

On the front bottom of the machine there is a plastic 'kick plate' that clips/pushes on. Remove this plate and you will see the filter with a cover secured by a star/phillips screw. Loosen screw and twist this cover off to gain acess. Don't do what i've just done and twist without removing this screw as it breaks it:-(

anyone who knows where i can get a filter cover please post back!
