The GE lint filter is an OEM replacement part responsible for capturing and collecting lint and debris generated during the drying process in a clothes dryer. Located near the dryer's door opening or at the bottom of the dryer's lint trap housing, this filter prevents lint from circulating through the dryer's venting system and into the home. As warm air circulates through the drum, the lint filter catches lint, lint particles, and other small materials from the clothing, ensuring that they do not accumulate in the dryer's exhaust system. The GE lint filter can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. Color: white. Measures about 14-1/2 inches wide by 4-1/2 inches high.
