Jeffrey T Watsonville , CA October 13, 2014 Dryer lint filter broke The original filter broke about 3 years ago and since then I've glued, riveted, screwed, taped, cable-tied and patched it to keep it working. Last weekend I finally broke down and bought a new one and it is such a relief to have the right part in working order. I am going to hang the old filter in a special place in my garage as a monument to ingenuity, frugality and insanity. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
