I ordered a new collector kit and lint filter. I had read, from a previous DIY person how to replace it. I used a screwdriver to pop the drier top up. Removed 2 hex screws that held the front panel on; took out the 2 screws that held the old collector in place. I laid the front panel down on the floor, removed the old collector and installed the new one. I reused the old collector gasket,you might want to order a new one with the new collector in case the old one was non re usable. Mine was re usable.
