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.
