The Lint Filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It is designed to capture lint and debris that are produced during the drying cycle, preventing them from entering the dryer’s internal components and reducing the risk of fire hazards. This filter measures approximately 13 inches wide by 9 inches high.
Over time, the lint filter can become clogged with lint, get damaged, or develop holes that reduce its effectiveness. Regular cleaning is necessary to maintain its performance, but eventually, it may need replacement to ensure optimal dryer operation.
Symptoms of a bad lint filter include:
- Reduced drying efficiency
- Longer drying times
- Excessive lint on clothing
- Visible damage or holes in the filter
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
