The Lint Screen Housing Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It houses the lint screen, which captures lint and debris from the drying cycle, preventing it from clogging the dryer vent and ensuring efficient airflow.
Causes of a bad housing assembly can include cracks or breaks due to frequent handling, wear and tear over time, or accidental impact. A faulty housing can compromise the lint screen's ability to trap lint effectively, leading to potential ventilation issues.
Symptoms of a bad lint screen housing assembly include:
- Lint screen not fitting properly
- Visible cracks or damage to the housing
- Increased lint buildup inside the dryer
- Longer drying times due to restricted airflow
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
