FAQ

This filter replaces OEM part number DC97-16742A. It also cross-references with part numbers DC61-02610A, DC61-03048A, AP5306681, PS4221839, and EAP4221839.
This filter is designed to fit a wide range of Samsung dryers, including the DV400, DV450, DV480, DV50, DVE54, and DVG50 series, as well as models like the DV45H7000EW, DV40J3000GW, and DV52J8060EW/A2.
You should consider replacing your filter if the mesh screen is torn, frayed, or has holes, which allows lint to bypass the trap and accumulate in the dryer vent. Additionally, if the plastic frame is cracked or the flap mechanism no longer closes properly, it will not effectively capture debris.
A clean filter is essential for proper airflow. When lint builds up on the screen, the dryer has to work harder to push air out, which increases drying time, consumes more energy, and can cause the dryer to overheat or trigger a thermal fuse failure.
Installation is straightforward and requires no tools. Simply slide the old filter out of the housing slot at the front of the dryer drum, clear any loose debris from the housing cavity, and slide the new filter into place until it is fully seated.
To extend the life of your filter and maintain dryer efficiency, clean the lint off the screen after every single load. Periodically, use the included cleaning brushes to remove any waxy residue left behind by dryer sheets, which can clog the mesh even if it looks clean.
