The Dryer Screen is an OEM replacement part specific to Whirlpool dryers. Located inside the dryer cabinet behind the drum, the screen serves as a barrier protecting the blower system and ducting from lint and debris. The screen measures approximately 21"L and 7" W
Causes of a bad Dryer Screen can include physical damage from improper handling, accumulation of lint that isn't fully removed during cleaning, or wear and tear over time. A compromised lint screen can allow debris to bypass it, potentially leading to clogs and reduced drying efficiency.
Symptoms of a bad Dryer Screen include:
- Lint buildup on clothes after drying
- Longer drying times
- The dryer overheating
- Visible tears or holes in the screen mesh
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Worn out, damaged lint filter Lynn C. • Raleigh , NC • June 04, 2019
Ordered replacement lint screen. When it arrived, I took out the old one and put the new one in the dryer. I am extremely happy with the new lint screen. I tried to find one on Sears website but it was unavailable; it was wonderful to find your website and to find what I needed. The customer service representative was so helpful and pleasant! Whenever I need a replacement part for my 30+ year old washer or dryer, I will order it from you.
