Whirlpool Dryer Lint Filter Parts — Models & Compatibility

If your Whirlpool dryer is making grinding noises or leaving marks on clothes, there's a good chance your lint filter housing has cracked or warped. The W10828351 lint filter and cover assembly fits over 200 Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore dryer models — and it's one of the most frequently needed replacement parts because lint buildup and repeated handling eventually crack the plastic frame.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

This filter assembly works across multiple brands because Whirlpool manufactures dryers for Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid, and even some Crosley models. To verify compatibility, locate your model number on the inside of the dryer door frame or on the control panel rim. Match it against the list below — if your model starts with LTE, LDR, or 110.88, you're likely looking at the right part.

About This Replacement Part

The W10828351 includes both the lint screen and the plastic housing cover — you're replacing the entire assembly, not just the screen. This matters because the housing frame cracks over time, especially around the handle area where you pull it out after every load. When the frame warps, it doesn't seal properly against the duct opening, which causes two problems: noisy operation as air rushes through gaps, and lint particles escaping back onto your clothes, leaving those telltale gray streaks. Users consistently report this is an easy swap — no tools required, just pull out the old assembly and snap in the new one. The part replaces older numbers like 8531964 and W10812395, so if you're seeing those listed in your dryer's manual, this is your updated replacement.

Why This Filter Fails

Plastic fatigue is the main culprit. Every time you pull the filter out to clean it, you're flexing that handle area. After a few years and a few thousand cycles, the plastic develops stress cracks. The second issue is heat exposure — the filter sits right in the airflow path where temperatures regularly hit 140-160°F, which makes the plastic brittle over time. Once you notice the frame feels loose or you see visible cracks, it's time to replace the whole assembly rather than trying to patch it.
