Customer Questions and Answers for Lint Filter by Ge

The Lint Filter is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is strategically placed in the dryer to capture lint and debris from clothes during the drying process, helping to prevent these materials from clogging the dryer vent or damaging the internal components. 

Symptoms of a bad Lint Filter include:

• Torn or damaged filter mesh, allowing lint to pass through and accumulate in the vent.
• Excessive lint buildup around the dryer frame, indicating the filter is not capturing properly.
• Reduced drying efficiency, with clothes still damp after a cycle, suggesting a clogged filter or airflow issue.

Causes of a bad lint filter can include normal wear and tear from regular use, accidental damage from sharp objects or heavy laundry items, or improper maintenance, such as not cleaning the filter regularly.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
