Cleaning the lint screen
The lint screen is located inside the
dryer drum, on the back wall. Clean it
before each load. A screen blocked
by lint can increase drying time.
1. Open the door and pull the lint
screen straight out.
2. Squeeze body of lint screen lightly
while pulling the cover off. See
illustration.
3. Roll lint off the screen with your
fingers. Do not rinse or wash the
screen to remove lint. Wet lint is
hard to remove.
4. Replace cover on lint screen body.
Push the lint screen firmly back into
place and close the door.
Lint screen maintenance
Laundry detergents and fabric
softeners can cause a residue build-up
on the lint screen. A clogged lint
screen can extend drying times. Clean
the lint screen every six months or
more frequently if it becomes clogged
due to a residue build-up. Use the
following method:
1. Wet both sides of lint screen with
hot water.
2. Wet a nylon brush with hot water
and liquid detergent.
3. Scrub lint screen with the brush until
all residue build-up is removed.
4. Rinse with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a
clean towel.
6. Replace cover on body of lint
screen and replace in dryer.
