A cracked or broken filter case housing can no longer hold the lint screen securely in place, causing it to fall out during operation.
A warped or damaged filter case disrupts proper airflow through the lint trap, reducing drying efficiency and extending cycle times.
A broken filter housing allows lint and debris to bypass the screen and re-enter the dryer drum or exhaust duct instead of being captured.
Physical damage to the plastic lint filter case — including cracks, chips, or broken retaining tabs — requires replacement of the entire case assembly.




💡 Pro Tip: How to Know Your Lint Filter Case Needs Replacing
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Lint screen falls out or no longer seats securely in the filter slot
⚠️ Visible cracks, chips, or warping on the plastic filter housing frame
⚠️ Clothes taking longer than normal to dry (restricted airflow)
⚠️ Lint found inside the dryer drum or escaping past the filter area
🔍 Open the dryer door and pull out the lint screen. Inspect the plastic case/housing around the slot — run your finger along all four edges. Any crack or broken tab means the case needs replacement. A warped case that no longer sits flush is equally important to replace, as lint bypasses the filter and accumulates in the exhaust duct.
