I recently rebuilt a DE808, and it seems like a lot of lint gets by the screen. Is this just a normal for these? I bought a new lint screen and it seems a little loose in there but not much. | ||

Lint going through the lint screen of a dryer
The great majority of lint produced by drying clothing goes right through the lint screen of most American dryers. The screen is pretty porous.
The filter is only to catch the worst and largest particles to keep it from clogging the exhaust system as easily, if you’re using a dryer without Being connected to an exhaust, some sort of auxiliary filter should be installed as Tom’s suggested. the other quick and easy suggestion is do not clean the lint filter but every several loads wait till the lint is at least a quarter inch thick before cleaning maybe half inch thick, this will not cause the machine to malfunction or become dangerous because you don’t have the back pressure of a long exhaust system, in addition to a full Lint screen.
