A lint filter or lint trap prevents clogging of the dryer vent. When a garment is tumbling around in the dryer, the high heat combined with agitation can lead to fiber shedding. The lint filter captures the fibers and prevents them from blocking the dryer vent hose. If there is too much accumulation already, the excess fibers may not stay in the filter and could flow into the hose. Installing a brand-new lint filter can solve this problem. It can promote better energy consumption, faster drying, proper airflow, and reduced fire risk. Replacement is simple and straightforward and no tools are needed. Open the dryer and access the lint filter housing. Open the cover and slide the old filter out. Insert the replacement.
