What’s included
One lint screen.

Install notes

  • Power off the dryer before reaching into the lint housing.
  • Vacuum and wipe the lint channel clean before installing the new screen.
  • Seat the screen fully; don’t operate the dryer without it.
  • Clean the screen before every load; wash with mild soap if residue builds up.

Usage tip
If you use dryer sheets or liquid softener, rinse the screen periodically to remove film that can restrict airflow.

This genuine part is an OEM replacement part is also compatible with Amana and KitchenAid models as well.
