I removed the filter. Then I removed the 4 screws holding the filter cover. I replaced the cover, took about an hour to line up screws and screw them in. the filter slid right in. Everything fit perfect!
The filter and cover broke because lint builds up in the bottom of the cover. I've tried vacuuming and using a brush, but couldn't get all the lint out. The filter stuck up and clothes got caught and snapped off part of the filter and the cover. The only way to clean was to remove the cover.
