The Filter Housing is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. As part of the dryer ventilation system, the filter housing holds the lint filter in place, trapping lint and debris before it exits through the vent. It helps prevent blockages in the exhaust vent and surrounding area.

Causes of a bad filter housing can include cracks, breaks or defects in the plastic material over time due to normal use and heat exposure inside the dryer. Increased wear and tear from extended use can also cause damage.

Symptoms of a bad filter housing include:

  • Excessive lint building up inside the dryer
  • Reduced air flow and inefficient drying times
  • Strange sounds like vibrations or rattling coming from the vent area
  • Lint escaping from gaps in the filter housing

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

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Filter Housing Assembly (Part Number: OEM19000296)

1 Answer

Kathy, To replace the filter housing, you will need to start by unplugging the dryer. Once unplugged remove the 2 or 3 screws on the top back that hold the main top in place. Once removed slide the main top toward the back and lift off. There will be 3 or 4 screws that hold the control panel in place. Remove and roll the front panel off. Once this is done remove the screws that hold the front panel in place and remove the front panel. Once the front panel is removed then there will be 4 screws that you will remove to take the front buikhead off and once it is removed you will be able to replace the filter housing.

Jane, it would be recommended that the vent duct is cleared as it can cause this issue. If it is clear, the next step would be to test the outlet thermistor WP8557403 for resistance on the middle connector as it should measure 10KO at room temperature. If the outlet thermistor tests good, it would be likely that the main control WPW10542001 has failed.

Jane, it would be recommended that the sensor bars of the lint filter housing are cleaned thoroughly as it is common for softener residue to film onto the bars and prevent them from properly sensing moisture.
