WP53-0918 Whirlpool Lint Filter for Dryer

Lint Filter for Dryer.

Whirlpool's range of brands includes Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The lint filter offered here is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part tailored for use in Whirlpool dryers. This filter, crafted from white plastic, stands 6 inches tall and includes side guides on both edges of the screen, one measuring 3/8 of an inch and the other 5/8 of an inch in width. If the filter is damaged or has lost its shape, replacing it might be necessary.

To install, simply remove the existing lint filter from its slot and slide the new one into place. The primary role of the lint filter is to trap lint from clothing throughout the drying process. It helps prevent lint from building up in crucial dryer components, such as the heating coil, which is essential for both fire safety and the proper functioning of the appliance. It is important to clean the filter regularly. This specific filter fits several Whirlpool brand models, including Admiral, Amana, Crosley, Jenn Air, Magic Chef, and Maytag.

Common issues this part addresses include:
No heat or insufficient heating.
