Customer Questions and Answers for Filter by Whirlpool

The Filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This lint filter catches loose fluff and lint before it escapes outside and helps prevent blockages in the vent ductwork. 

Causes of a clogged dryer filter involve normal buildup during frequent drying cycles over extended use. Signs of failure include:

• Drying times taking too long as airflow is impeded
• The dryer failing to properly sense airflow for thermal protection
• Strange noises or vibrations from restricted ventilation

Symptoms of a dirty filter consist of:

• Reduced air movement through vents and out of the dryer
• Red eyes, sinus issues or respiratory irritation from lint recirculating
• Clumps of fluff visible clinging within exhaust hoods and ducts

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