810183 Genuine Foam Filter for Asko Condenser and Heat Pump Dryers T208H.W.AU T408HD T410HD.W.AU T611HX.W T884XLHPW

Asko condenser and heat pump dryers use a foam filter to trap fine lint, and part 810183 is the genuine replacement. It's listed for eight Asko dryers: the T208H in its .W.AU, .W.P and .W.U versions, the T408HD and T408HD.W.AU, the T410HD.W.AU, the T611HX.W and the T884XLHPW. If your foam is torn, squashed flat or has gone stiff, it's time for a new one.

Asko heat pump dryer taking too long to dry

A heat pump dryer works by circulating air through a heat exchanger, and fine lint clogging that exchanger quickly cuts drying performance. The foam filter catches that lint, but it can only do the job while it's intact and clean. A torn or missing foam lets lint pass straight through, while a clogged one restricts airflow. Either way, drying times creep up, clothes come out damp, and the dryer may show a filter or condenser warning. Rinse the foam when it's dirty and replace it once it no longer springs back into shape.

Changing the foam filter

Switch the dryer off first. Remove the filter holder and take out the old foam, noting which way it sits. Clean any lint from the holder and the space it fits into, then press the new foam in evenly so there are no gaps around the edges. Refit the holder fully, as a loose filter lets lint bypass it. If you rinse the foam, let it dry completely before refitting.

Questions about this part

How often should the foam filter be replaced?

There's no set interval. Rinse it when you see lint build up and replace it when it tears, stays compressed or no longer fits snugly. A damaged foam lets lint reach the heat exchanger, which is much harder to clean.
