Kenmore / Sears Dryer Guide

The Lint Filter Guide is an OEM part for LG dryers. This part guides and secures the lint filter in place within the dryer. By ensuring the lint filter is correctly positioned, it effectively helps in capturing lint, debris, and other particles from clothes during the drying cycle, contributing to optimal dryer performance and preventing potential airflow blockages that could lead to overheating.

Over time, the Lint Filter Guide can experience wear or damage from frequent use or during the cleaning and maintenance process. Damage to this part can lead to improper placement of the lint filter, which might compromise the dryer's efficiency, increase energy consumption, or pose a fire risk due to accumulated lint.

Symptoms of a bad Lint Filter Guide include:

• Difficulty in inserting or removing the lint filter
• The lint filter not fitting properly or securely
• Increased lint accumulation outside the filter area
• Unusual noises or reduced efficiency during dryer operation

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances.
