• Common symptom: visible lint or debris passing through, restricted airflow, or a damaged/tear in the existing screen
• Straightforward, passive part with no electronics or moving pieces

• One replacement mesh screen

• Inspect surrounding housing and mating surfaces; replace with matching part orientation
• Typically installs by snapping or sliding into a dedicated frame—no specialized tools usually required
• Clean nearby areas of lint and debris before installing the new screen
• Always disconnect power to the appliance before performing service to avoid injury
