Speed Queen Dryer Filter

The Dryer Lint Filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This filter is designed to capture lint and debris from the clothes during the drying cycle, preventing it from clogging the dryer vent and ensuring efficient airflow. Proper maintenance of the lint filter helps improve the dryer's performance and reduces the risk of fire hazards caused by lint buildup.

Over time, the lint filter can become damaged, torn, or clogged with excessive lint and debris. Common causes of a bad lint filter include wear and tear from regular use, damage from improper cleaning, or excessive lint buildup that is difficult to remove.

Symptoms of a bad dryer lint filter include:

• Visible tears or holes in the filter
• Lint not being captured effectively, leading to clogged vents
• The dryer taking longer to dry clothes due to restricted airflow
• The filter not fitting securely in its slot

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

This lint filter traps lint and fibers as air moves through the dryer, helping maintain proper airflow and drying performance. Replace a damaged or missing screen to reduce lint buildup inside the machine and along the vent.

• Captures lint and debris during the drying cycle to protect the blower and venting
• Helps maintain airflow for consistent drying results and temperature control
• Reduces lint redepositing on clothes and around the door opening
• Replace if the mesh is torn, the frame is warped/cracked, or if you notice longer dry times or excess lint inside the drum

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove the old screen and vacuum out the lint chute/housing; inspect and clean the exhaust vent as needed
• Insert the new filter and ensure it seats fully and flush—do not operate the dryer without the filter in place
• Run a short test cycle to confirm proper airflow at the exhaust

This light gray lint filter cover shields the dryer's lint screen opening and helps direct airflow for efficient lint capture. Replace a cracked or missing cover to maintain airflow and reduce the chance of fabric snags.

• Covers the lint screen opening and channels air through the filter
• Helps keep the lint screen aligned and properly seated
• Provides a smooth edge at the door opening to protect fabrics
• Typical signs it's failing: cracks, broken tabs, loose lint screen, lint in drum, longer dry times

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Open the door; remove screws or release locking tabs to remove the old cover
• Position the new cover and secure it with existing hardware as applicable
• The lint screen slides in fully and seats flush before use
