A clogged or torn lint filter restricts airflow, forcing the dryer to run multiple cycles to fully dry a load. A new filter restores proper airflow and drying efficiency.
Holes or tears in the mesh allow lint to bypass the filter and redeposit onto freshly dried laundry. Replacing the screen stops lint from circulating back into the drum.
A blocked lint filter causes heat to build up inside the dryer cabinet, triggering the thermal limiter. Replacing the filter restores safe operating temperatures.
On models with lint-indicator sensors, a damaged or missing filter can trigger the 'Check Lint Screen' alert and even prevent the dryer from starting.





💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Lint Filter the Problem?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Clothes are still damp after a full drying cycle
⚠️ Visible lint is appearing on freshly dried laundry
⚠️ Dryer feels unusually hot to the touch or shuts off early
⚠️ The mesh screen has visible tears, holes, or bent/warped frame sections
🔍 Pull the lint filter out and hold it up to a light source. If you can see daylight through the mesh in irregular patches — or if the frame no longer lies flat — it's time to replace it. Clean the filter housing channel with a vacuum or soft brush before installing the new screen to ensure a proper seal.
