Error Code: CLEAN FILTER SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy
Problem: The lint filter needs to be cleaned.
How to Fix CLEAN FILTER SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)
- Pause the dryer cycle if it is running and open the door.
- Locate the lint filter, which is typically just inside the door opening in the bottom recess.
- Pull the lint filter straight up and out of its housing.
- Open the filter screen and use your fingers to peel off the layer of lint. Do not use water or sharp objects to clean it.
- For a more thorough cleaning, you can gently use a soft brush or the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner.
- Once all lint is removed, close the filter screen and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Slide the clean filter back into its housing until it clicks firmly into place.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
