XPARTCO DC97-16742B Dryer Lint Screen

Product Description

The DC97-16742B Dryer Lint Screen is the updated Samsung-spec filter assembly for DV-series front-load and freestanding dryers. This part number is the factory successor to DC97-16742A and is the correct current replacement for all models that originally used either number.

The lint screen traps fiber and lint shed from clothing, keeping the exhaust path clear and preventing the buildup that leads to longer drying times, overheating, and reduced efficiency. The filter pulls out from the front of the dryer — no panels to remove, no screws, no tools.

Express Parts Direct carries this XPARTCO part as a value-priced alternative for customers who need a reliable replacement without paying OEM prices. Built to compatible dimensions (approx. 12.9″ L × 11.4″ W), it installs as a direct drop-in for the Samsung original.

Quick Answer

The DC97-16742B is the current Samsung lint screen assembly for DV-series dryers — it supersedes the DC97-16742A and covers all the same models. No tools needed; it slides straight out from the front. This XPARTCO version offers the same fit and function as the OEM at a lower price point.

Common Symptoms This Part Fixes

Clothes taking multiple cycles to dry
Dryer running hot or overheating

Lint screen frame cracked or warped

⚠ Installation Note: No tools are required. Pull the lint screen straight out from the front slot on the dryer door panel. Clean any remaining lint from the housing before inserting the new screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between DC97-16742A and DC97-16742B?
DC97-16742B is Samsung's factory update to the DC97-16742A. Both numbers refer to the same lint screen position on the same DV-series dryer models. The B revision is the current active part number — if your dryer originally listed DC97-16742A, the DC97-16742B is the correct replacement to order. This XPARTCO part covers both numbers.
How do I confirm whether this lint screen fits my Samsung dryer?
Locate the model number label — it is on a sticker inside the door opening on most Samsung DV-series dryers, or on the rear panel. Enter that model number on our product page or contact Express Parts Direct for a compatibility check before ordering. The filter slot on most Samsung DV-series models from 2010 onward accepts this part.
My dryer runs but clothes aren't drying — could this be the lint screen?
A damaged or heavily clogged lint screen is frequently the cause. Remove it and inspect: if the mesh has holes or tears, airflow is compromised and the screen should be replaced. If visually intact, clean it thoroughly and also check the full exhaust duct run for lint blockages. A clear screen and unobstructed duct are the starting point for diagnosing drying problems.
Is this an OEM Samsung part?
No. This is an XPARTCO aftermarket replacement part, not a genuine Samsung OEM part. Express Parts Direct carries XPARTCO parts as a cost-effective alternative. If you specifically need a Samsung OEM part, contact us and we can check OEM availability for your model.
Can I use the dryer while I wait for the replacement lint screen to arrive?
If the existing screen is torn or has holes, we recommend not running the dryer until the replacement arrives. A damaged screen allows lint to bypass the filter and accumulate in the exhaust duct, increasing fire risk over repeated cycles. If the screen is simply dirty but physically intact, cleaning it will allow safe continued use in the short term.
