Safety Information
Always prioritize safety when working with appliances. Disconnect power to the dryer before attempting any installation or maintenance. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment if necessary. If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified technician.
- Disconnect Power: Ensure the dryer is unplugged or the circuit breaker is off before handling the lint filter.

Setup and Installation
This section details the steps to replace the lint filter screen in your Kenmore dryer model 110.86879300.
- Locate the Existing Filter: The lint filter is typically located inside the dryer door opening.
- Remove the Old Filter: Grasp the handle of the existing lint filter and pull it straight out of its housing.
- Inspect the Area: Before inserting the new filter, inspect the filter housing for any accumulated lint or debris and remove it.
- Insert the New Filter: Take the new Generic replacement lint filter screen. Align it with the opening and slide it firmly into the housing until it is fully seated. Ensure there are no gaps.

Operating Instructions
Once the replacement lint filter screen is correctly installed, the dryer can be operated as usual. The new filter will effectively capture lint and debris during the drying cycle, helping to maintain drying efficiency and prevent fire hazards.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning of the lint filter is crucial for optimal dryer performance and safety.
- Clean After Every Load: Always remove and clean the lint filter after each dryer load. This prevents lint buildup, which can restrict airflow, increase drying time, and pose a fire risk.
- Deep Cleaning: Periodically, or if you notice a film on the screen that reduces airflow, wash the lint filter with warm, soapy water and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before reinserting it into the dryer.
- Inspect for Damage: Regularly inspect the filter screen for any tears, holes, or damage. A damaged filter should be replaced immediately to prevent lint from entering the dryer's exhaust system.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues after replacing the lint filter, consider the following:
- Dryer Not Drying Efficiently:
- Ensure the lint filter is clean and free of lint buildup.
- Check if the filter is fully seated in its housing.
- Inspect the dryer's exhaust vent for blockages.
- Lint Escaping into Dryer Drum:
- Verify the lint filter is correctly installed and fully seated.
- Inspect the filter screen for any tears or holes that might allow lint to pass through. Replace if damaged.
If problems persist, consult your dryer's main instruction manual or contact a qualified appliance technician.
