Dryer Lint Filter
A dryer lint filter captures lint in the appliance airflow path and must fit the exact filter opening. This category includes lint screens, filter assemblies, grid-style filters, covers and selected housings for Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG and other compatible dryers.
Match the dryer model and original filter number, then compare the frame shape, handle position, mesh area, insertion direction and overall dimensions. A cover or housing is not automatically the same as a complete replacement dryer lint filter.
Frequently Asked Questions
No, dryer lint filters are not universal. Frame shape, dimensions, handle position and insertion direction vary by model.
No, a lint-filter cover is not the same as the lint screen. A cover, housing and screen can be separate parts unless sold as an assembly.
Use the dryer model and original filter number, then compare the frame, handle and insertion orientation.
A damaged or poorly fitting screen can allow lint to bypass the intended filter path, so it should be replaced with the correct part.
