We lost the cloths dryer lint filter one of us accidentally tossed it in the garbage when cleaning it no one will admit to this of course so we simply needed to order a new one

The AMAZING THING is that after I spoke to a nice customer representative on Friday afternoon to place the order, I was shocked to receive a Package on Saturday. The Clothes Dryer Lint Filter had arrived in 24 hours, and I had not paid any special shipping. It fit perfectly. . . very easy painless process. THANK YOU!

Through 6 years of using the gas dryer it kind of dried it out.

I replaced the pieces and all the lint was really easy to take the vacuum cleaner extension for the hose and clean out all the stuff inside which with any dryer you should be clean them out once a year. I didn't order the sensor strips that were on the one piece, but they were easy to take off and put back into the new piece saved a bunch of money.

Dryer lint filter housing unit broken

As an older mom of adult kids, I have always tried to patch things up but never fixed an appliance. Always depended on my spouse for these things. He has become too busy and fixing the dryer was not a priority, so I found the part on this website (easy), received it in 3 days, and with the help of my son, we had it installed within an hour. I will definitely order from y’all again! So glad I found you!
