If your LG dryer is taking too long to dry, overheating, or shutting off mid-cycle, a failed lint filter is the most common cause. In LG DLEX, DLGX, DLE, and DLG dryers, the mesh screen tears, warps, or becomes permanently clogged with lint and fabric softener residue — blocking airflow and forcing the heating system to overwork. ⚡ Left unaddressed, a blocked filter creates a fire hazard and drives up energy costs. Part ADQ56656401 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores full airflow and normal drying performance immediately.
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
✔ If these symptoms match, the lint filter is the most likely failed component in the system.
✔ In most cases, replacing this lint filter restores normal drying operation immediately.
Skill Level: Easy — 2 to 5 minutes, no tools required. No power disconnect needed for this part — the filter is accessible with the dryer door open. Open the dryer door and pull the old lint filter straight up and out of the housing. Insert the new filter into the housing and press down until fully seated. Close the door and run a short cycle to confirm airflow is restored. Ensure the filter is fully seated flush with the housing — a partially inserted filter will restrict airflow.
