Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Lint bypassing the filter because the screen is torn or the frame is cracked.
• Lint collecting around the filter housing or inside the dryer when the filter is damaged or not seated correctly.
• Longer drying times when the screen is clogged with lint or fabric-softener residue.
• Filter does not seat securely or the dryer door does not close properly because of a damaged or improperly positioned filter.

Check Before Replacing

• Remove the filter with the dryer off and inspect the mesh for tears, holes, separation from the frame, or heavy residue.
• Hold the clean, dry filter toward a light source to check for visibly blocked areas.
• Confirm that the filter slides fully into its opening and sits flush without forcing it.
• After reinstalling, verify that the filter remains secure and that no lint is escaping around the filter housing.
• If airflow remains restricted, inspect the accessible filter housing and exhaust path for lint buildup without disassembling the dryer unless the model-specific service instructions require it.

Installation Notes

• Turn off and unplug the dryer, or disconnect power according to the appliance service instructions, before replacing the filter.
• Remove the old filter from its normal filter opening and insert the replacement without forcing it.
• Because the redesigned filter no longer uses the felt seal, do not add a felt seal unless the model-specific documentation explicitly calls for one.
• Ensure the filter is fully seated and the dryer door closes normally before operating the appliance.
• Clean lint from the accessible filter housing if the replacement does not seat fully; do not operate the dryer without the lint filter installed.
