They suit the Minimax range only, so they aren't a general fit for other Simpson dryers. Foam filters catch lint as air leaves the drum, and they wear out with washing and handling. If your Minimax filter is torn, shrunken or permanently clogged, this pack gets it breathing properly again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a worn Minimax foam filter slows drying\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a Minimax dryer, the foam filter traps lint before the air leaves the machine, protecting the fan and keeping lint off your laundry. As the foam ages it can tear, shrink, go brittle or clog permanently with fine fibres and fabric softener residue. A clogged filter restricts airflow, so loads take longer to dry and the dryer runs hotter, which can trip its safety thermostat. A torn filter lets lint past into the fan and housing, where it builds up and becomes a fire risk. If the foam no longer springs back or has holes in it, replace it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine part 4055944468\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoam lint filters, pack of 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade for Simpson Minimax dryers only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrolux group part for the Simpson brand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFoam\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePack quantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChanging and cleaning the foam filter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch the dryer off at the wall first.
