GE Dryer Lint Filter WW02F00614, Replaces 212D1419G003, WE18X25098, WW03L00186

The GE WW02F00614 Dryer Lint Filter is the current OEM lint screen and mesh assembly designed to capture lint and debris from the exhaust air stream during the drying cycle, protecting the blower and exhaust system. It is the direct supersession of WW03L00186 and also replaces 212D1419G003 and WE18X25098 with no modification required.

Is This the Right Part?

Confirm the complete model number before ordering. Both WW02F00614 and the superseded WW03L00186 fit the same model list — this is the preferred current OEM part.

Common Symptoms

• Clothes taking multiple cycles to dry — restricted airflow from clogged or damaged lint screen
• Dryer running hot or overheating — lint filter blocked, reducing exhaust airflow
• Lint bypassing the filter and accumulating in the blower housing or exhaust duct
• Visible tears, holes, or collapsed mesh in the lint screen frame

Check Before Replacing

• Clean the existing filter thoroughly first — heavy lint buildup produces the same symptoms as a damaged screen and requires only cleaning, not replacement
• Inspect the filter housing and slot for lint bypass — lint accumulating past the filter indicates a frame seal or housing issue, not just the screen
• Check the exhaust duct for blockage — a restricted duct produces identical overheating and long-dry symptoms regardless of filter condition
• Confirm the replacement filter fits flush into the housing with no gaps around the frame edges

Installation Notes

1. Disconnect power before servicing.
2. Locate the lint filter housing — typically accessed from the top of the dryer or the door opening depending on model.
3. Slide or lift the old filter straight out of the housing.
4. Compare the new filter with the original — confirm frame dimensions and mesh orientation match.
5. Slide the new WW02F00614 firmly into the housing until fully seated with no gaps.
6. Restore power and run a short cycle — confirm airflow is restored and no lint bypasses the filter.

Skill level: Easy — 5–10 minutes. No tools required for most models.
