✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

Check Before Replacing

• Unplug the dryer before inspection.
• Remove the lint screen and visually inspect the foam seal for gaps, tears, compression, hardening, dislodgment, or missing sections.
• Check for lint deposits around or beyond the lint-screen housing that could indicate air bypass.
• Confirm that the lint screen and housing are clean and seated correctly before attributing airflow problems to the seal.
