John H Everett , WA August 23, 2014 Lint filter was old torn and didn't fit properly This was an older couple that lives next door to me. I wrote down the model number of their unit and looked it up. I found that the lint filter was the #1 part replaced on this unit. I ordered the new one and installed it for them and they were delighted. They had been dealing with the old one for years and didn't know how to get it fixed. 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
