GE Dryer Lint Filter - WE16X28728

Restore proper airflow and lint capture with this genuine OEM GE Dryer Lint Filter - WE16X28728. This lint filter traps lint before it reaches the blower housing and exhaust path, helping maintain airflow during each drying cycle.

WE16X28728 is a dryer lint screen used when the original screen is torn, warped, cracked, clogged beyond cleaning, or no longer seats correctly in the lint-filter housing.

Compatibility: Fits select GE / Hotpoint Dryer Platforms where the model diagram calls for this exact lint-filter number and lint-screen location.

Fitment / What To Verify: Verify the full dryer model number, filter frame shape, screen size, handle location, tab locations, depth, color, and whether the old filter slides into a front, top, or door-mounted lint channel.

Please confirm fitment with your appliance model number before ordering.

Is it time to replace?

• Common Symptoms: Long drying times, lint bypassing the screen, weak airflow, lint collecting around the filter opening, overheating, or the filter will not stay seated.
• Visible/Sensory Cues: Torn mesh, cracked frame, warped body, broken handle, packed lint, gaps around the filter, or a screen that rocks in the housing.

Pro Tip: Clean the lint filter before every load. If drying times remain long after replacing the filter, inspect the full dryer vent path for restriction.
