    How to Clean the Filters on a Tumble Dryer

    Your tumble dryer's filters will collect lint, fluff and other debris from your clothes during the drying process. They should ideally be cleaned after every load to prevent overheating and risk of fire.

    In this video we show you how to remove the filters from a tumble dryer so that they can be cleaned and replaced.

    Video Transcript: How to Remove the Filters from a LG TD-C70040E Tumble Dryer

    Important: Before replacing a part in any electrical appliance, you must ensure that it is first unplugged from the mains.

    The door filter is located on the inside of the door, and can be removed by sliding out, so any dirt or debris can be wiped off.

    The door aperture filter is located inside the front of the drum, and can be easily lifted out and removed for cleaning.

    The door to the condenser box is located on the front of the tumble dryer. Open it by pressing in the catch, and remove the inner door by turning the clips. To remove the filter, unlock the second set of clips, and the filter can then be pulled out. This can be rinsed out by the sides and ends in the sink.

    Please be aware that the location of the filters may vary according to the make and model of your tumble dryer.

    Many tumble dryers have a "cool down cycle" to prevent damage at the end of drying. Always allow the dryer to complete a cool down cycle as an interruption can result in overheating and causing it to trip.
