Customer Questions and Answers for Screen by Whirlpool

This replacement screen filters debris within your appliance to help protect internal components and maintain proper performance. A clean, intact screen supports consistent flow and reduces the risk of clogs or premature wear.

• Traps debris to help prevent clogs in the designated flow path
• Helps protect downstream parts such as valves, pumps, or passages
• A torn, missing, or clogged screen can contribute to reduced performance, unusual noises, slow flow, or error codes
• Restores proper flow when replaced with a new, clean screen

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off water or gas before servicing
• Access the screen per your model's service information and note its orientation
• Clean the mating area and remove any debris before installing the new screen
• If the original screen used an O-ring or seal, transfer it if reusable or replace as needed; seat fully and check for leaks or proper operation
