H0180300116 Genuine Filter Sponge for Haier Appliances, Foam Filter Insert

Foam filters wear out with washing, and H0180300116 is Haier's genuine replacement filter sponge. It traps lint, fluff or fine debris before it can reach parts further inside the appliance, and once the foam tears or loses its shape it stops doing that job properly. Our records don't name the Haier model, so compare the size and shape of your old sponge, along with its part number, before ordering.

When to replace a Haier filter sponge

A foam filter catches fine particles that a coarser mesh lets through, protecting fans, coils and other parts from clogging. With regular washing the foam gradually thins, tears or hardens, and once that happens it either lets debris pass or blocks the flow through it. Signs include longer running times, the appliance getting hotter than usual, filter or clean warnings coming on more often, or visible holes and crumbling edges on the sponge. Many owners keep a spare so one can dry while the other is in use.

Fitting the new sponge

Turn the appliance off before removing any filter. Lift out the filter housing, take out the old sponge and wipe away any lint or dust left behind. Seat the new sponge evenly with no folds or gaps around the edges, then refit the housing firmly. When you wash it in future, let it dry fully before it goes back in.

Questions about this part

How often should a filter sponge be replaced?

There's no fixed interval. Replace it when it's torn, hardened, misshapen or won't clean up properly after washing. Check it each time you clean the main filter, and keep a spare on hand so the appliance is never run without one.
