Our Whirlpool gas dryer has a top lint filter. We bought the dryer in 1974,
raised three kids, and it is still working fine. Replaced the belt twice
and the igniter once. Nice when stuff lasts longer than expected.


My grandmother replaced a dryer in 1995. It was one (Maytag) my mother
bought in 1960 because of my diapers. It could have been fixed in 1995
if parts were still available. It has a lint filter in the door.

Any truth to that?

I've always had dryers with the lint trap on top. The only problem
that I know of is that when the clothes get piled up on the top, the
kids (and sometimes the wife) don't bother moving them to clean the
trap.

If it was in the door, I'm sure it would be cleaned every time.
