Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Lint bypassing the filter because the screen, frame, or felt seal is damaged
• Dryer overheating or restricted airflow when the filter is clogged
• Door not closing properly if the filter is warped, damaged, or incorrectly seated
• Marks on clothing associated with a damaged or improperly seated filter

Check Before Replacing

• Remove the filter and inspect the mesh for tears, holes, heavy residue, or deformation.
• Confirm the filter is fully seated in its slot and that the felt seal is intact where applicable.
• Clean visible lint from the filter and filter slot; do not operate the dryer with a damaged filter.
• After cleaning, check whether airflow and drying performance improve; persistent overheating or long drying times require broader dryer and vent-system diagnosis.
