5231EL1001C Genuine OEM LG Dryer Lint Filter Screen
The 5231EL1001C is a genuine LG OEM lint filter screen for LG and select Kenmore dryers, including True Steam models. Positioned inside the dryer drum, this filter captures loose lint and debris from the exhaust air as clothes tumble and dry, which is essential both for maintaining strong airflow and drying efficiency and for reducing the fire risk that comes with lint buildup inside the dryer.
Constructed with a white plastic frame, a fine mesh screen, and a felt rim seal, this filter is sold individually. Over time, the screen can tear, crack, or become permanently clogged despite regular cleaning, and it can also be lost or damaged during cleaning attempts. A worn or damaged filter typically shows up as drying taking longer than it used to, clothes not drying properly, unusual smells during the cycle, or lint escaping past the screen into the vent system.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Disconnect Power Before Starting Disconnect all utilities from the dryer before beginning this repair. Locate the lint filter slot inside the dryer drum. Remove the old lint filter by pulling it up and out of its designated slot. Insert the new 5231EL1001C into the same slot, seating it fully so it sits flush and secure. No tools are required for this replacement. While the dryer is open, it's a good opportunity to vacuum out any accumulated lint from inside the filter housing using a vacuum hose extension, since buildup here can accumulate over the life of the dryer even with regular filter cleaning. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm normal airflow and drying performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
My lint filter is cracked. Do I really need to replace it right away?
Yes, promptly. Not replacing a torn or damaged lint filter can allow lint to bypass the screen and build up further downstream in the dryer or venting system, which can lead to dryer damage and increases the risk of overheating or fire. This is a low-cost, simple part to replace, so it's not worth delaying once damage is noticed.
How often should I clean or replace this filter?
Clean the filter after every load for best performance. As a general guideline, replacing the filter every 6 to 12 months, or sooner if it becomes damaged, helps maintain proper airflow and reduces fire risk from lint buildup, even with regular cleaning between replacements.
Do I need any tools to replace this filter?
No. This lint filter simply lifts out of its slot and the new one presses back into place — no tools or disassembly required beyond disconnecting power to the dryer first.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original frame design, mesh screen, and seal of the lint filter originally installed in your dryer.
