This part works hard, so it is common for it to need replacing over the lifetime of the appliance. This lint filter is sold individually and has a gray plastic housing with a mesh screen. It measures approximately 15 inches by 12 inches by 2 inches. The manufacturer has made a substitution to the lint filter. Due to the changes, the manufacturer suggests changing the filter guide and filter cover.
