Pull the lint screen straight out from the front slot on the dryer door panel. Clear any lint residue from the housing before seating the new screen.

If the mesh is torn, warped, or has visible holes, the screen is the problem — replace it. If the screen is physically intact, the issue is likely a vent blockage somewhere in the exhaust duct run. Disconnect the duct from the back of the dryer and check for accumulated lint, kinks, or crushed sections. A clogged duct will cause the same slow-drying and overheating symptoms as a damaged screen.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"eps-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"eps-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the difference between DC97-16742A and DC97-16742B?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"eps-faq-a\"\u003eDC97-16742B is Samsung's factory-updated revision of the DC97-16742A — both numbers cover the same filter slot on the same range of DV-series dryers.

Grip the lint screen handle, pull straight out, and slide the new screen in until it seats flush. That's it — no panels to remove, no screws to loosen.
