How to Clean the Filter Out of a Kenmore HE3 Dryer
The filter in your Kenmore HE3 dryer traps lint before it can accumulate in the exhaust pipe and pose a fire hazard. To keep the air flowing around the dryer, clean the filter at the start of every cycle and thoroughly wash it every six months. In addition to lint, residue from laundry detergent and fabric softener also accumulates on the screen and causes a reduction in dryer efficiency. Keeping the filter clean keeps your dryer running smoothly and safely. Does this Spark an idea?
