H0180200135 Genuine Outer Lint Filter for Fisher & Paykel, Haier Dryers DH9060P1 DH8060P1 DH9060P2 DH8060P3 DH8060C1 DH9060C1 DH9060FS1 DH9060PG2

This genuine outer lint filter, part number H0180200135, suits Fisher & Paykel DH8060 and DH9060 dryers along with the Haier HDHP80A1 and HDHP80E1. It is the outer part of the dryer's lint filter, catching fluff before it gets into the air path. A torn or warped filter lets lint straight through, so it's worth replacing as soon as you spot damage.

Why a damaged lint filter matters in your dryer

Every load sheds fibres, and the lint filter is the main barrier stopping them from packing into the dryer's internal air path. With a tear in the mesh, a cracked frame or a filter that won't sit properly, lint gets past and builds up on the parts behind it. Drying times slowly stretch out, clothes come out damp, the dryer may show a filter or airflow warning, and eventually it can need a strip down to clean. Clean the filter after every load and check the mesh for holes while you do it.

Part details

• Genuine part H0180200135
• Outer piece of the two part dryer lint filter
• Listed for DH8060, DH9060 and HDHP80 series models

Fitting the outer filter

With the dryer off, open the door and pull the filter out of its slot. Empty the old filter and check whether any inner filter piece needs to move across to the new one. Slide the new filter in fully so it sits flush. A filter that isn't seated properly can let lint bypass it, so make sure it is home before you start a load.

Questions about this part

Do I need the inner filter as well?

This listing is for the outer filter only. If the inner part of your filter is also torn or warped, it needs to be ordered separately. Check both pieces whenever you clean the filter so damage is caught early.
