Do you need a sponge filter for your tumble dryer?
A sponge filter captures lint, fibres, and other debris from the clothes during the drying process. It helps prevent these particles from entering the dryer's vent system, reduces the risk of clogs and improves the dryer's efficiency.
The sponge filter also actively plays a role in fire prevention as lint accumulation in the vent can be highly flammable.
Why do you replace it?
The sponge filter accumulates lint and debris and causes airflow restrictions and hinder the dryer's ability to expel moist air effectively. A clogged or dirty filter can lead to longer drying times, reduced energy efficiency, and potential overheating.
Replacing the sponge filter at regular intervals helps ensure optimal drying performance, energy efficiency, and safety in the tumble dryer.
Would this fit in my tumble dryer?
This sponge filter by Candy is a genuine tumble dryer replacement part. It also suits Baumatic, Caple, Fagor, Geratek, Hoover, House to House, Lamona, Marm, Mio Star, Montpellier, Otsein-Hoover, Vestel, and Zerowatt tumble dryers. Use our compatibility checker to see if this part fits your model.

Our tumble dryer making a terrible noise and I was ready to get a repairer in, when I had a look round the machine I found the filter in a sorry state. Great value product at a fraction of the cost of a repairer. Speedy delivery too with regular communication and updates.
