Ikea

Possible Causes
Damaged or missing lint filter, Filter not seated correctly, Lint bypassing filter due to cracks, Overloaded drum reducing airflow
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before inspecting filter housing.
- Inspect lint filter: Check for tears, cracks, or warping. Replace if damaged. Ensure it is the correct Ikea filter for your model.
- Seat filter properly: Insert the filter fully into its housing until it sits flush. An improperly seated filter allows lint to bypass.
- Avoid overloading: Do not exceed the rated capacity. Overloading reduces airflow and lint capture efficiency.
After correcting filter issues, run a test load. If lint persists, inspect internal ducts and condenser for heavy lint buildup and clean as needed.
