The Lint Screen Housing Foam Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This seal is placed around the lint screen housing to prevent air leaks and ensure that the dryer operates efficiently by directing airflow properly through the lint screen. By maintaining a tight seal, this foam helps to optimize the dryer’s performance, reduce drying times, and prevent lint from escaping into the internal parts of the dryer, which can lead to potential maintenance issues and decreased efficiency.

Symptoms of a failing lint screen housing foam seal include:

• Increased lint buildup inside the dryer beyond the lint screen
• Longer drying times due to inefficient air circulation
• Excessive heat and humidity within the dryer

Causes of foam seal deterioration typically involve normal wear and tear, exposure to high heat which can degrade the material, or improper maintenance that can tear or dislodge the foam.

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

• Vibration or noise emerging from the rear roller area
• Premature wear signals stemming from dislocated roller assembly
