Customer Questions and Answers for Lint Filter by Whirlpool

The Lint Filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This essential component traps lint and debris from the clothes during the drying cycle, preventing these particles from clogging the dryer’s exhaust system and ensuring optimal drying performance.

Causes of a bad lint filter can include physical damage such as cracks or breaks, wear and tear from frequent use, or clogging due to an excessive buildup of lint that reduces its effectiveness.

Symptoms of a bad lint filter include:

• Lint buildup on clothes after drying
• Increased drying times
• The filter not fitting properly in its slot
• Visible damage or tears in the filter screen

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
