The Lint Filter is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. This component is crucial for trapping lint and debris that come off clothes during the drying process. By capturing this lint, the filter prevents it from clogging the dryer’s internal mechanisms and vent, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the dryer and reducing the risk of fires. 

Symptoms of a bad Lint Filter include:

• Excessive lint escaping back into the dryer drum or venting system.
• Tears or holes in the filter mesh that fail to trap lint.
• Difficulty fitting the filter into its slot due to warping or damage.
• Longer drying times or overheating, indicating poor air flow.

Causes of a bad lint filter can include normal wear and tear from regular cleaning and use, accidental damage during removal or cleaning, or degradation from exposure to high heat.

The Lint Filter is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, and Kenmore dryers.
