The Lint Screen Door is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It is located at the front of the dryer and provides easy access to the lint screen. It helps to trap lint and debris from the drying process, preventing it from entering the dryer vent and potentially causing clogs or fire hazards.

Causes of a faulty or damaged lint screen door can include regular wear and tear, physical damage, or improper handling. These factors can result in issues such as difficulty in opening or closing the door, a loose or insecure fit, or reduced effectiveness in capturing lint.

Symptoms of a bad lint screen door may include:

• Difficulty in opening or closing the door
• Loose or wobbly door fit
• Lint bypassing the lint screen and accumulating in the dryer vent

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
