I'm trying to clean the washing machine's filter and have it get stuck
Why are you trying to get the filter stuck?
I'm deliberately trying to get it malfunctioned so I'll get a new one.
While it's good your attempting to clean up your washer, you're being very deceptive by trying to break it for a free replacement. That is scamming and you should be held accountable to your actions.
I am also planning to sue my washing machine company. They made me do this.
If they get to know that you purposely got the filter stuck in order to damage the washing machine they won't give you a new one so you'll be at loss. It's unethical to scam people like this.
