CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN

Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer.  

The control panel has an indicator light to remind you to clean 

the lint screen after each load. When the light is flashing, clean 

the lint screen. A screen blocked by lint can increase  

drying time.
To clean:
1.  Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen with 

your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. 

Wet lint is hard to remove.

2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
IMPORTANT:

n

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.

n

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

check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See “Venting 

Requirements” in the Installation Instructions.

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.
