Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Clothes remain damp or take longer to dry when the screen is clogged or coated with residue.
• Lint may accumulate around the dryer door or on clothing if airflow is restricted.
• The dryer may overheat or stop before the load is completely dry if the screen is blocked or missing.
• Visible damage, looseness, or poor seating of the screen can allow lint to bypass the filter.

Check Before Replacing

• Remove the lint screen and visually inspect it for lint buildup, detergent or fabric-softener residue, tears, warping, or other damage.
• With the dryer off, confirm that the screen fits securely and is not loose or missing from its housing.
• Clean the screen according to the dryer owner's manual; if residue remains, wash it with hot water and a soft or nylon brush, then dry it completely before reinstalling.
• After reinstalling the screen, verify that it is fully seated. Do not operate the dryer with the screen loose, damaged, blocked, or missing.
• If drying remains poor after the screen is clean and correctly seated, inspect the dryer vent and airflow separately rather than assuming the screen is the cause.
