The Whirlpool WP37001142 Dryer Lint Filter works by capturing lint and debris as hot air moves through the dryer during each cycle. Positioned in the airflow path, it prevents lint from clogging the exhaust vent, ensuring steady circulation. As the dryer runs, the filter traps loose fibers from clothes, reducing buildup inside the machine. To maintain efficiency, simply slide the filter out and remove the collected lint after each use. By keeping the airflow clear, it helps clothes dry faster and uses less energy. It also minimizes the risk of overheating, supporting the dryer's performance while keeping laundry fresh and properly dried.
