Common Symptoms
- Long drying times associated with a damaged, improperly seated, or clogged lint screen

- Visible lint bypassing the screen when the mesh is torn
Check Before Replacing
- Inspect the screen mesh and frame for tears, warping, or damage.
- Confirm the screen seats fully and correctly in the lint-filter housing.
- Clean the screen before each load and check for buildup from dryer-sheet residue.
- Compare airflow with the screen installed and the exhaust path clear; weak airflow may also indicate vent or blower restrictions.
