The Lint Screen Housing Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It houses the lint screen, which captures lint and debris from the drying cycle, preventing it from clogging the dryer vent and ensuring efficient airflow.

Causes of a bad housing assembly can include cracks or breaks due to frequent handling, wear and tear over time, or accidental impact. A faulty housing can compromise the lint screen's ability to trap lint effectively, leading to potential ventilation issues.

Symptoms of a bad lint screen housing assembly include:

• Lint screen not fitting properly
• Visible cracks or damage to the housing
• Increased lint buildup inside the dryer
• Longer drying times due to restricted airflow

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This elbow redirects a fluid or air line inside the appliance to allow routing around components and tight spaces. It restores proper flow path and helps stop leaks or blockages when the original elbow is cracked or worn. What it does:

• Provides a sealed change of direction for a water, drain, or vent line inside the appliance
• Replaces a cracked or broken elbow that can cause leaks, water pooling, or reduced flow
• Re-establishes the correct routing to prevent kinks and stress on connected hoses or tubing
• Helps eliminate intermittent draining or venting issues caused by a damaged fitting

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before accessing the part
• Verify orientation and routing before removing the old elbow to ensure correct reinstallation
• Inspect and replace any worn clamps, gaskets, or hoses when installing the new elbow
• Tighten fittings to secure but avoid over-tightening which can crack plastic components

This replacement mounting screw secures appliance panels and small components to restore proper fit and reduce movement. It's a simple, direct part for repairing loose panels, trim, or interior assemblies. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or assemblies to prevent rattling and vibration
• Restores proper alignment for doors, control panels, or trim pieces
• Helps stop intermittent noise caused by loose hardware
• Use when original screw is missing, stripped, or corroded

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver bit and hand-tighten; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads
• Keep small parts away from children and pets; magnetic tray helps prevent loss
• If multiple screws are corroded or hardware threads are damaged, inspect mating parts and replace as needed

This genuine replacement seal restores a tight barrier between two mating surfaces in your appliance. Replacing a worn or damaged seal helps prevent leaks or air infiltration and supports proper, reliable performance. What it does

• Creates a compressible barrier to contain water or air at the joint between components
• Helps prevent drips, leaks, or unwanted moisture/condensation
• Replaces seals that are cracked, flattened, brittle, or misshapen
• Supports correct operation by maintaining proper pressure and temperature control at the seal point

• 1 seal

• Disconnect power; shut off water supply if applicable
• Note the seal's orientation before removal; match the profile to the new part
• Clean the groove and mating surfaces of residue and debris before seating the new seal
• Seat evenly without twisting or stretching; test for leaks/operation after reassembly

A replacement outer access cover that protects internal components and keeps the appliance appearance finished. Restores a secure barrier over openings to prevent debris and accidental contact with internal parts. What it does:

• Shields interior components from dirt, dust and spills
• Prevents accidental contact with wiring or moving parts
• Stops drafts or light from entering the cabinet opening
• Eliminates rattles or vibration caused by a cracked or loose cover

• One replacement outer access cover

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting any repair
• Remove adjacent panels or fasteners as needed to access the cover; basic hand tools usually required
• Handle edges carefully to avoid scratching the finish; align tabs and secure all fasteners

This exhaust pipe routes exhaust air from the appliance to the home vent, restoring proper airflow for safe, efficient operation. Use when the original pipe is cracked, bent, or leaking. What it does:

• Channels exhaust gases and lint from the appliance to the external vent
• Prevents exhaust leaks that can cause poor drying or cooking performance
• Helps maintain correct airflow to reduce overheating and moisture buildup
• Fits where a damaged or corroded exhaust connection needs replacement

• One exhaust pipe

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before servicing; follow appliance safety procedures
• Inspect surrounding seals and clamps; replace clamps or ducting if damaged
• Secure pipe with OEM-recommended fasteners and ensure vent path is clear

This exhaust pipe vents hot, moist air from the dryer to the home venting system, helping the appliance dry clothes efficiently and reduce indoor humidity. Replace a damaged or restricted pipe to restore proper airflow. What it does:

• Channels dryer exhaust air safely from the appliance to the exterior vent
• Helps prevent overheating and long dry times caused by restricted airflow
• Reduces lint buildup in the appliance by providing a clear vent path
• Commonly replaced when cracked, crushed, kinked, or badly corroded

• Disconnect power to electric dryers; shut off gas supply and disconnect for gas dryers before servicing
• Inspect existing vent path for additional damage or lint buildup and clean before installing
• Position pipe without sharp bends or kinks and secure with appropriate clamps or fasteners
