Thank you Jerry
That wasn't what I was expecting to see. Could you possibly show the bag a little more up close and maybe a shot of how it fits inside the hatch?
Sorry to ask all that but the one I saw had a round hose that was like a spring covered in dacron type screen material. It was open on one end and closed on the other and the mystery was what direction this was meant to be put in. Unfortunately I've never seen a dryer manual for these slant front Westy's that had the lint screen hatch on the top. thanks, Patrick | ||

Since the dryer wasn't connected I couldn't see it operate but assume from the design that the lint would catch on the outside of this round screen when in place.
I'm guessing they changed the design to what you have so the lint would be inside the screen rather than all over the outside of it. Fascinating!

Early Westinghouse Dryer Lint Filters Weather the lint collected on the outside or in the case of the later style the lint collected in the bag it was a mess to clean and since this area was pressurized lint would leak along with hot moist air around the little door. It is easy to see why WH completely redesigned their dryers in 1964 and basically copied GEs successful design.
The earlier slant dryers did have their advantages however, bigger drum, easier to load and unload and fairly good durability in the early models with the motor mounted fan and front drum support rollers. Unfortunately when they lost the front support rollers and added a belt driven blower they were not very durable or long lived dryers. | ||
