The Lint Filter is an OEM component specifically designed for GE dryers. This filter plays a crucial role in trapping lint and debris produced during the drying cycle. It is responsible for protecting the dryer and ensuring air flows smoothly by capturing all lint and preventing blockages.  

Causes of a bad lint filter include excessive buildup of lint that clogs the filter, tears or holes in the filter mesh that compromise its trapping ability, or loose fasteners that allow lint to bypass the filter.

Symptoms of a bad lint filter include:

• Inefficient or incomplete drying times 
• Excessive drying cycles are needed to remove all moisture
• Strange noises or vibrations from the dryer during the operation
• A buildup of lint inside the dryer cabinet or venting system

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