Hotpoint Tumble Dryer Filter

Catches fluff from clothes so it does not clog the vent or the heat exchanger.

Signs it has failed

• A torn or clogged mesh
• Fluff collecting in the drum or on clothes
• Long drying times despite a clean vent
• A filter that no longer fits snugly

Check before you buy

• Clean the filter after every load
• Wash the mesh under warm water if it feels waxy from fabric softener
• Look for tears or a warped frame

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.
