Whirlpool WPW10516085 Dryer Lint Filter

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL WPW10516085 is a genuine OEM dryer lint filter designed to capture airborne lint and debris from the exhaust airstream during the drying cycle. This replacement filter maintains proper airflow through the dryer drum, helping the appliance operate efficiently and reducing the risk of overheating. It is a direct-fit OEM component intended for installation by appliance repair technicians or experienced DIYers comfortable with dryer disassembly. The WPW10516085 supersedes earlier part numbers and is the current production replacement for those units.

This lint filter is used in residential electric and gas dryers. It seats in the lint trap housing, typically located inside the door opening or on top of the dryer cabinet. Routine replacement of a damaged, torn, or clogged lint filter restores proper airflow and is a standard part of preventive maintenance service on residential dryers.

Installation Notes

Disconnect the dryer from its power source before servicing. Gas dryer installations should also have the gas supply shut off at the shutoff valve. The lint filter typically lifts straight out of the housing with no tools required, but surrounding components may need to be removed on some models. Follow all applicable local appliance codes and the manufacturer service documentation for your specific unit.
