GE Lint Trap Duct (WE09X27634)

The GE Lint Trap Duct routes air and lint from the lint filter area to the blower housing in a dryer. It helps keep airflow steady so the dryer can move moist air out of the drum and into the vent system. It also supports the lint filter housing so the filter seats flat and lint stays in the intended path.

Common failures come from lint buildup, heat stress, and vibration. Lint can pack inside the duct and restrict airflow. Plastic sections can warp, crack, or separate at seams. Mounting points can loosen or break, which can let air leak and reduce suction at the lint filter.

Use these symptoms to help decide if this duct is the likely fix:

Lint collecting around the lint filter opening or inside the cabinet instead of in the filter

Weak suction at the lint filter area

Long dry times, poor drying, or clothes still damp after a normal cycle

Burning lint smell or dryer running hotter than usual

Rattling, buzzing, or vibration near the lint filter housing area

Visible cracks, gaps, warping, or loose mounting tabs on the duct
