W11117302 Dryer Lint Screen Grille

Key Features

  • Protective Snag-Free Design: Designed with smooth, precision-molded slots that allow maximum airflow for efficient drying while preventing delicate clothing from being sucked into the exhaust duct or snagging on sharp edges.
  • High-Temperature Resistant Polymer: Constructed from premium, heat-resistant plastic that withstands the continuous extreme temperatures of the dryer's exhaust system without warping, cracking, or becoming brittle over time.
  • Secure Filter Housing: Acts as the primary mounting channel for the lint screen, ensuring the filter seats perfectly flush and creates a tight seal to capture maximum lint and debris.
  • Direct Factory Replacement: Engineered to exact OEM specifications, matching the original mounting screw holes and housing dimensions for a seamless, gap-free installation.
  • Airflow Optimization: Maintains the crucial air-flow balance required by your dryer's heating elements and thermostats, preventing overheating issues caused by collapsed or broken grilles.

Compatibility & Fitment

This lint screen grille is a direct replacement for standard dryers from the following brands:

  • Whirlpool
  • Maytag
  • Kenmore
  • Crosley
  • Amana
  • Roper
  • Estate
  • Inglis

When to Replace

  • Cracked or Broken Plastic: The most common failure is physical damage from zippers, buttons, or heavy shoes tumbling against the grille, creating sharp edges that destroy clothing.
  • Clothes Getting Snagged: If you find small tears, burn marks, or black streaks on your garments after a cycle, the grille is likely warped and trapping fabric as it spins.
  • Lint Filter Won't Stay Down: If the lint screen constantly pops up during operation, the internal retaining tabs on the grille have snapped off.
  • Visible Warping: Extreme heat over time can cause the plastic to bow outward, creating a gap where unfiltered lint bypasses the screen and clogs your exhaust vent.

Installation Tips

  • Safety First: CRITICAL: Always unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet before beginning any internal repair.
  • Keep Track of Screws: PRO TIP: The grille is typically held in place by two or three interior screws. Place a towel inside the dryer drum over the lint trap before removing them so they do not accidentally fall down into the blower wheel housing.
  • Clean the Cavity: Once the old grille is removed, use a long vacuum attachment to thoroughly clean the lint trap housing. This is the perfect time to remove years of hidden, compacted lint that restricts airflow.
  • Avoid Over-Tightening: When installing the new W11117302 grille, hand-tighten the screws just until they are snug. Using a power drill or over-tightening can crack the brand-new plastic housing.

FAQ

W11117302 is used on some dryers from Whirlpool, Kenmore, and Maytag. Compatibility is model-specific, so the safest check is to match your dryer's model number and confirm that your original lint screen grille part number is W11117302 or one of its replacements.
This part cross-references W11117302, 8544723, W10685670, WP8544723, 4538922, AP6245906, PS12114312, and EAP12114312.
The lint screen grille, also called the air duct grill or lint filter housing cover area, supports the lint filter opening and helps guide airflow into the dryer exhaust path. It works with the lint screen to keep lint from entering the blower area while allowing proper air movement through the machine.
Typical signs include a cracked or broken grille at the lint filter opening, the lint screen not seating correctly, snagging when you insert or remove the filter, or visible warping that prevents a proper fit. Damage in this area can also let lint bypass the screen more easily and collect deeper in the dryer.
Installation is usually a moderate repair because access often requires opening the top panel or removing sections of the dryer cabinet, depending on the model. Basic tools may include a screwdriver and a nut driver. Plan on about 20 to 45 minutes for many models. Always unplug the dryer first, and if you have a gas model, shut off the gas supply before starting.
First inspect the lint screen itself for tears, bent frame edges, or poor fit, since a damaged filter can mimic grille problems. Also check the lint chute area for packed lint, because buildup can make the filter hard to insert and can reduce airflow. If the grille was cracked from force, inspect nearby mounting tabs or screw points to make sure the new part will secure properly.
They commonly fail from repeated stress at the filter opening, accidental impact when the lint screen is inserted at an angle, or heat-related wear over time. Heavy lint buildup can also make the screen bind during removal and installation, which puts extra pressure on the grille and can lead to cracks or broken tabs.
