Product review (2 stars): NOT OEM NOR GENUINE ANYTHING!!
I look at and clean this filter nearly every day and am aggravated every day. If this is an OEM genuine Whirlpool, I would steer away from Whirlpool dryers!! This is a cheap, really cheap, clearly NOT OEM piece of something so I would really worry about buying a Whirlpool dryer and its quality. This filter has overspray, cheap felt that lint CLINGS to, cheap frame that easily bends, and even cheap filter screen. I purposely sought an OEM genuine replacement filter screen for my dryer so I would have the quality I was used to from the original filter that had started getting tougher to clean over the years. This piece of something  is harder to clean out the lint than my poor aged original. Keep looking for a REAL OEM b/c this item is a very poor replica of what I presume Whirlpool really manufactures.
