The Dryer Lint Filter is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool electric dryers. This essential screen traps lint and debris released from tumbling clothes. Consistent filtration is key for safety and performance. This filter measures approximately 12 1/2 inches wide and 10 1/2 inches deep.

Causes of a clogged lint filter can be an accumulation of lint from regular drying cycles plugging ventilation holes. Neglecting filter cleaning allows fluff to build up rapidly.

Symptoms of a dirty lint filter include:  

  • Extended drying times as airflow is restricted
  • Overheating problems or melted slots in the filter housing
  • Risk of dryer or clothing fires from unvented lint buildup 

This OEM replacement part is also compatible with Kenmore and Maytag models too, it removes the fire hazard of neglected cleaning.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Dryer Lint Filter (Part Number: OEM11903766)

1 Answer

Nelson, you should be able to pull the lint screen out and with a flashlight, look through the slot and see if there is lint blocking the screen from going all the way down. Some vacuum cleaners have an attachment that will fit through the slot to allow you to clean out the blower housing. If you can't use a vacuum, you will need to remove the front panel and remove the blower housing.

Mike for Model Number WED9470wwz

We recently moved into a condo. The unit's previous owner left their Whirlpool Duel Washer/Dryer stack. My wife notice that the dryer lint filter does not collect lint. Our experience with lint filters is that they collect lots of lint which has to be removed before loading the dryer. This unit collects very little lint. Clothes seem to dry OK, but we're worried about the duct and possible fire. Any advice regarding this will be appreciated. Thanks, Mike

JMO, Yes you can "safely operate the dryer without the felt strip". In fact, the felt seal has been eliminated from the "new" replacement part W10120998 / W10120998. Check and make sure there is no residual adhesive or excessive felt particles left on your original part, and you should be fine. Thanks,
