Whirlpool 4-Inch Louvered Dryer Vent - 8212662

Whirlpool 4-Inch Louvered Dryer Vent - 8212662

Protect the exterior vent opening and maintain proper dryer exhaust flow with this genuine OEM Whirlpool 4-Inch Louvered Dryer Vent - 8212662. This exterior louvered vent covers the outside duct termination while allowing hot air and moisture to exit during the dryer cycle.

8212662 is a genuine Whirlpool dryer vent accessory selected when replacing a damaged exterior vent hood or finishing a dryer vent termination. Official Whirlpool accessory sources describe it as a rigid-metal louvered vent with a 4-inch opening, 10-1/2-inch tail pipe, and backdraft flapper.

Compatibility: Universal dryer vent terminations that use a standard 4-inch duct opening and a compatible exterior wall layout.

Fitment / What To Verify: Fitment is based on a 4-inch vent opening, the 10-1/2-inch tail pipe, and the exterior vent layout rather than appliance brand alone. Confirm the wall termination, flap clearance, and duct diameter before ordering.

Please confirm fitment with your appliance model number before ordering.

Is it time to replace?

• Common Symptoms: Crushed or missing vent hood, backdraft flap failure, lint accumulation around the exterior opening, or poor exterior exhaust protection.
• Visible/Sensory Cues: Broken louvers, missing flap, rusted metal, or restricted airflow at the outside vent outlet.

Pro Tip: Keep the flapper area clean of lint and exterior debris so the vent can open fully during drying and close afterward to reduce backdraft.
