Symptoms of a bad Trap Duct Slides include:

• Difficulty in inserting or removing the lint screen.
• Excessive lint accumulation outside the trap area.
• Reduced drying efficiency, possibly due to restricted airflow.
• Visible wear or damage to the slides, hindering the movement of the lint screen.
• Potential for increased risk of overheating if lint is not properly trapped.

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