Restore proper lint capture and dryer airflow with this genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Lint Screen - W11778253. This lint screen captures lint from the dryer airflow before exhaust leaves the appliance, helping protect airflow and the vent path.

Fits These Brands / Families: Select Whirlpool-family dryer models that list W11778253 as the correct service part.

Please confirm fitment with your appliance model number before ordering.

Is it time to replace?

• Common Symptoms: Lint may bypass the filter, airflow may decline, or the screen may no longer seat correctly when it is torn, warped, clogged, or missing.
• Visible/Sensory Cues: Torn mesh, cracked frame, heavy residue, warping, or gaps around the seated filter are common replacement cues.

Pro Tip: Clean the lint screen every load and inspect the filter housing and exhaust duct; restricted venting can cause slow drying and overheating even with a new screen.
