W10906551 Whirlpool Air Filter Housing

The product described is a Lint Screen Housing Assembly suitable for Whirlpool dryers, which also fits models from Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, Admiral, as well as Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part consists of an outlet grill and a housing assembly that features moisture sensor bars. Its main purpose is to secure the air filter which captures lint and other debris from the dryer's exhaust air, enhancing both dryer efficiency and the cleanliness of clothes.

The moisture sensor incorporated within the assembly is essential for gauging the moisture levels in the laundry. This helps in determining appropriate drying times, ensuring the dryer operates efficiently. If you notice issues such as extended drying periods, lint residue on clothes, or inadequate drying, it might indicate that the lint filter housing assembly is damaged and needs replacing. The complete assembly comes with sensor bars, pads, and clips. Before purchasing a replacement, please check that it is compatible with your dryer model.
