The Lint Screen is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This component is designed to trap lint and debris that are generated during the drying process, preventing them from accumulating in the dryer's vent system. By capturing lint, the screen helps maintain proper airflow, reducing the risk of fire hazards and ensuring that the dryer operates efficiently. This lint screen measures approximately 19 x 7 inches.

Symptoms of a failing Lint Screen include:

• Visible tears or holes in the screen mesh
• The screen not fitting securely in its slot
• Lint buildup in the dryer or vent system
• Clothes taking longer to dry due to restricted airflow
• The screen being difficult to remove or replace

Causes of a bad lint screen can include regular wear and tear from frequent use, physical damage from heavy lint loads or improper handling, and the accumulation of residue from dryer sheets or fabric softeners that can clog the mesh.

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