Safety. Unplug the dryer before you start (and switch off the breaker if it is hard-wired). A blocked vent is a fire risk, so always clear the cause of any overheating.

Signs it has failed

Check before you buy

What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your tumble dryer and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).

How to replace it

  1. Pull the filter out of its slot
  2. Check the mesh and frame for damage
  3. Slide the new filter in until it sits flush
  4. Run a short cycle to confirm it seats correctly

Guide steps are typical for this type of part. Layouts differ between models, so follow your own manual where it differs.

Getting the right part

Filters differ in size and shape by model. Match your model number and the shape of the old filter.

Check your model number first. It is on the rating plate — usually inside the door frame, on the back or side panel, or inside the appliance. Parts that look identical often differ by model, so match the number to the listing before you order.
