Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Dryer Lint Screen (Part Number: OEM18040248)

Robert A for Model Number WED6600VW0

My dryer filter screen P/N WP8572270 has stainless steel strips down the sides of the screen like your picture has. I’ve ordered and sent back too many that have had pictures of stainless strips on theirs but when arrived they don’t so I have to send back. Ice tried the ones without the stainless strips and they seem to bypass to much lint out the duct. Can you look at your stock and check if yours have the stainless strips down the filter. I would like to order that one or if you know of another seal internal on my dryer that might need replacement that would cause this issue. Thanks

Judging by the images and information available from the manufacturer there has been a change to the ones without the metal strips. The only ones we stock and can get are the new versions without the strips. You may need to do an internet search for a third party vendor that still has the older version in stock

Julienne, Thanks for the question!!! The grid in our photos is one-inch squares. That makes this filter approximately 25 by 8 inches.

Hello Kerri, depending on the correct model number would determine if this part is the one for your unit or not. You'll have to locate the correct model number on your unit, usually located behind the door on the front panel. Thanks!

Hello Tawm. Most likely they went out the exhaust from the blower wheel. It should be fine. You can look inside with a flash light and see if you need to get them out. If you do, you will have to disassemble the dryer to access and remove those parts.
