Yes, and I may have stated this previously, but it is worth repeating...
Don't use forced air or heat to dry your filter after washing.

Much like a cotton T-shirt in a dryer, the heat can cause the element to shrink and actually pull away from the ends of the filter. This can result in a gap which would allow unfiltered air to pass through and into your motor.
