Whirlpool WP35001141 Dryer Lint Filter

The Whirlpool WP35001141 Dryer Lint Filter is an important component that collects lint and debris throughout the drying process. Usually, a screen or mesh is positioned inside the dryer next to the exhaust vent. Lint sheds from clothing as they tumble and is captured by the filter, keeping it from getting into the dryer's ducting and perhaps starting a fire. To ensure the best possible dryer performance and safety, the lint filter must be cleaned after each drying cycle. A blocked filter restricts airflow, which increases energy consumption and requires more effort from the dryer to dry garments. Frequent cleaning also avoids the accumulation of lint in the exhaust vent, which can seriously impede airflow and create a fire hazard.
