Filter Dryer Parts by Your Model Number

Check the label inside your dryer's door opening first; it may also be printed on the back panel or behind the lint filter door. The complete model number can include letters, numbers, and separators, so copy it exactly, including any slash or dash. Enter that number in the search bar to sort the catalog down to parts that fit your entire dryer, not just the part you're repairing. If the label is hard to read, use a flashlight and wipe away lint before checking. Matching by model helps you avoid comparing dimensions and connectors by hand. That means fewer wrong orders and a faster repair.
