Dave, What kind of lint filter is in the dryer that you don't remove it to clean it? I haven't heard of this kind before. |

In the pic of the dryer drum, you apparently remove that small plastic grate, and then just rub out the lint on the screen below. |

I have this exact set (well, almost exact as my dryer is gas), and that lint screen in the dryer is not my favorite feature. The grate insert lifts out and the lint can be removed, but "stuff" gets past the lint screen. When I see build up below the filter, I remove the hex-head fastener that is visible on the right side of the screen, remove the actual screen, and vacuum out what I can reach with my vacuum and crevice tool.
BTW, it's time to do that again here.

they could not go wrong with that set.....most likely the last one they will ever buy....
not all of them came with that grate over top, mine didn't have it, and I don't think it was screwed down either... I did nothice it on the newer versions.....but still just as easy to take the whole filter out to clean, and run under hot water once in a while... |

what that grate actually helps with, is when unloading, your clothes will drag across and pick up lint, sometimes the whole layer, and get all over the clothing....common thing with these front mount types, if the actual screen trap was deeper, this may not be a problem...
not everyone cleans this out first when the dryer is done and they open the door....without that grate, I learned to do this first |
