Broken frame cannot hold mesh in position — lint bypasses filter and enters exhaust duct creating fire risk
Holes in mesh allow lint through to exhaust system — fire hazard and reduced dryer efficiency
Permanently clogged mesh restricts airflow causing extended drying times and overheating
💡 Pro Tip: When to Clean vs When to Replace
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Frame is cracked, bent, or broken at the handle area
⚠️ Metal mesh is torn, has holes, or has separated from the frame
⚠️ Filter is missing — previous owner lost it
⚠️ Dryer taking multiple cycles to dry a normal load — clogged mesh that will not come clean
Hold the filter up to a light source after cleaning — you should see clearly through the mesh. If you cannot, fabric softener residue has permanently clogged the weave and no amount of scrubbing will fix it. That is when you replace it. A clean filter that passes the light test is fine for continued use.
