Maytag Dryer Lint Filter Parts — Models & Compatibility

If your Maytag dryer's taking twice as long to dry clothes, the culprit's usually a torn or clouded lint filter. This replacement covers over 20 Maytag commercial and residential models — from the MDE9206AYW to the MDG6000 series. It's the same filter that fails when it gets cracked around the edges or the mesh starts pulling away from the frame.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your model number on the sticker inside the dryer door frame or on the rear panel. This 33001808 filter (also sold as WP33001808) fits most Maytag electric and gas dryers from the MDE and MDG series. If your model starts with MDE or MDG and was made in the last 15 years, you're likely good to go.

About This Replacement Part

This lint filter typically fails when it becomes torn, cracked, or clouded — all of which restrict airflow and cause vent clogs. You'll notice longer dry times first, then sometimes the dryer running hotter than normal. The mesh can separate from the plastic frame after years of cleaning, or the frame itself cracks near the handle. One customer replaced theirs in about 30 minutes using a YouTube video and basic tools: "The baffle was replaced in approx. 1/2 hour. Thank you AppliancePartsPros for you courteous help and speedy delivery."

Installation Overview

You'll need basic screwdrivers and possibly a nut driver depending on your model. Most replacements are straightforward — remove the old filter, check the lint trap housing for debris, and slide the new one in. The whole job takes 15-30 minutes if you've never done it before.

Common Issues This Part Fixes

• Clothes take 2-3 cycles to dry completely
• Excessive lint escaping around the filter edges
• Cracked or broken filter frame
• Clouded mesh that won't clean properly
• Filter that doesn't seat flush in the housing
