How to Replace a Lint Screen on a Kenmore Dryer
Kenmore dryers, like all residential dryers, come with a built-in lint screen. This screen captures lint removed from the clothing during the drying process. In most cases, the life span of the screen is indefinite, providing it isn't physically damaged. However, you may have to replace the dryer's lint screen if it breaks or if you lose it. Remove the lint screen and clean it after each drying cycle to maintain your Kenmore dryer. Does this Spark an idea?
