460546 Genuine Dryer Lint Filter Assembly for Fisher & Paykel Clothes Dryers DE45 ED56 AD55 ED55

This is the genuine Fisher & Paykel lint filter assembly, part number 460546, made for the brand's clothes dryers. It's listed for the DE45, ED56, AD55 and ED55 models. If your old filter is torn, warped or the frame won't clip back in properly, 460546 is the factory replacement that slots into the same spot and gets the dryer catching fluff again.

Why a damaged lint filter matters in a Fisher & Paykel dryer

Every load sheds fibre, and the lint filter traps it before it can reach the fan and the exhaust path. A filter with a split mesh lets fluff through, where it builds up around the heater and inside the cabinet. That means longer drying times, clothes coming out damp, a hotter cabinet and a greater fire risk. A frame that has cracked or lost its shape can leave gaps around the edges too. If you're finding lint on the clothes or around the door opening after a cycle, or the dryer seems slower than it used to be, inspect the filter closely for holes and gaps.

Swapping the dryer lint filter

Turn the dryer off and pull the plug before you reach into the door area. Lift the old filter out, then clear any loose fluff sitting in the housing underneath with a soft brush or a vacuum nozzle. Seat the new filter fully so it sits flush. Get into the habit of emptying it after every load, and wash the mesh in warm soapy water now and then if fabric softener residue starts to clog it.
