You may have some detergent residue inside the tub assembly. You should run a tub clean cycle and use some washing machine cleaner. You can get that at any hardware store. If you don't have a tub clean setting, use the sanitary wash cycle without any laundry inside. You must use the hot water setting for this to work. If you haven't done this in a long time, you may have to run this cycle at least once a week for a month to really clean the machine properly.

Yes, it's normal. It is a safety feature because of the hot water used during the tub clean cycle. It prevents the machine from opening while the tub clean cycle is in process.

the lint filter is a large plastic part that is conected to the bottom of the tub. you have to take the tub out to clean the lint filter. i would suggest, before you try taking the tub out, going to sears,they seel a product called washer magic. its a cleaning powder for your washer. just follow the instructions on the jug it comes it. it works pretty good
