CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the dryer. A screen blocked
by lint can increase drying time.
To clean:
1. Pull the lint screen out of its holder. Roll lint off
the screen with your ngers. Do not rinse or wash
screen to remove lint.
2. Push the lint screen rmly back into place.
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.
■ 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.
As needed cleaning
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 ngers.
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.
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Open the dryer door. Locate the light bulb cover
on the back wall of the dryer. Using a Phillips head
screwdriver, remove the screw located in the lower
right-hand corner of the cover. Remove the cover.
3. Turn bulb counterclockwise. Replace the bulb with
a 10 W appliance bulb only. Replace the cover
and secure with the screw.
4. Plug in dryer or reconnect power.
