Caring for Your Dryer

Proper care of your dryer can extend its life. This section explains how to care for your dryer

properly and safely.

Cleaning the lint screen

Every load cleaning

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.

To clean:

Open the door and pull the lint screen

straight out.

2. Squeeze body of lint screen lightly while

pulling the cover off.

3. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.

Do not rinse or wash 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.

IMPORTANT:

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.

Some towels made of synthetic fibers and

natural fibers (polyester and cotton blends)

may shed more lint than other towels,

causing your dryer’s lint screen to fill up

faster. Be sure to remove lint from the lint

screen before and after drying new towels.

As needed cleaning

Laundry detergents and fabric softeners can

cause a residue buildup on the lint screen.

Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush

every six months or more frequently if it

becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.

Use the following method:

Wet both sides of lint screen with hot

water.

2. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and

liquid detergent; scrub lint

screen with the brush to

remove residue buildup.

3. Rinse screen with hot water.

4. Thoroughly

dry lint screen with a clean

towel; replace in dryer.
