The Lint Screen Cover and Filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It serves a dual purpose: the lint screen traps lint and debris from clothes during the drying process, preventing them from clogging the dryer vent, while the cover ensures the lint screen is securely positioned and contributes to optimal airflow within the dryer.
Causes of a bad part include tears or holes in the lint screen that allow lint to pass through and clog the vent, a cracked or broken cover that fails to secure the lint screen properly, or buildup of fabric softener and lint that reduces the effectiveness of the filter.
Symptoms of a bad Lint Screen Cover and Filter include:
- Increased drying times
- Excessive lint buildup around the dryer
- The dryer may run hotter than normal
This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
