CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN

2.  Push the lint screen firmly back into place.

IMPORTANT:

Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose,  

damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause 

overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics.

If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal,  

check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See  

“Venting Requirements.”

As needed cleaning
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build 

up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying 

times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before 

your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged 

if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, 

or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue 

buildup.
To wash:

1.  Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
2.  Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
3.  Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. 

Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue 

buildup.

4.  Rinse screen with hot water.
5.  Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel.  

Reinstall screen in dryer.
