hotpoint first edition (wma20) filter location?

Question

Hi guys 
          does anyone know were the filter is located on the hotpoint first edition (WMA20) washing machine ?
          basically its been flooding our kitchen floor during the spinning cycle and im guessing its something to do with the filter ( note : the water comes out of the detergent draw ) 
          that said we have had this for a good 9 years now and in all that time ive never cleaned the filter ( since i dont know were it is hence this question ) 
          ive looked online for any guidance but to no avail .... so any advice will be much appreciated 
               cheers guys

The trap. Is located after the pump and has a cir-clip usually full of coins or a bra wire.  You need to take the back off to get to it.  My dad (engineer) isn't answering. Ill edit soon to give you the exact location
