✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Lint appearing on clothing or around the dryer
• Dryer taking longer to dry when the filter assembly is damaged or not sealing correctly
• Foam filter insert or mesh deteriorating, breaking apart, or becoming difficult to clean
• Lint or debris accumulating around the bottom filter area

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect power before inspection or removal.
• Visually inspect the bottom filter assembly for cracked plastic, missing sections, deteriorated foam, or damaged mesh.
• Check that the assembly is correctly oriented and seated in the bottom filter location without visible gaps.
• Inspect the surrounding filter area for excess lint or debris and clean accessible accumulation according to the dryer's care instructions.
• If the assembly is physically damaged or the foam/mesh is disintegrating, replace the complete assembly rather than relying on it for filtration.
