The lint filter is the one dryer part you handle every load, so it is no surprise they crack, tear or go missing. 900402700 is the genuine Electrolux group lint filter for Simpson dryers, including Minimax models. It is listed for around 150 models, mostly in the 39 series, such as the 39S500J and 39S550K, the 39P452E and 39S456E, and the 39D361P and 39B360P, along with the DC350S. Older references include 0144300001 and 0144300008.

Why a damaged lint filter matters

Every load sheds fibres, and the lint filter catches them before they can reach the fan, the heater and the vent. A torn mesh or cracked frame lets lint slip through and build up inside the dryer, where it chokes airflow and collects around hot parts. Drying slows down, clothes come out damp, the cabinet can run hotter than it should and lint may blow out of the exhaust. In the worst cases, packed lint near the element becomes a fire risk, so never run the dryer with the filter missing.

Fitting and cleaning the filter

Switch the dryer off before removing or fitting the filter. Check the new one against the old for shape before you slide it in, then make sure it seats fully with no gaps around the edges. Peel the lint off the mesh after every load, and wash the filter in warm soapy water now and then to remove fabric softener residue, letting it dry before refitting.

Questions about this part

How can I tell if this filter matches mine?

Compare it with your old filter for shape and fixing style, and check the model number on your dryer's rating plate. If that model appears on this page, this is the listed filter. If not, send the model through the parts enquiry form before ordering.
