Meghan R Everett , WA March 05, 2016 Kenmore elite steam dryer lint filter was catching twisting and ripping clothes I replaced the warped cover guide and the lint filter. Now it works perfect! Sears was going to charge $100 just to diagnose the well known problem, not including parts and labor. It only requires 4 screws(i used the old ones). Easy fix.

Joe L Carmel , IN February 10, 2017 Cover guide was broken at top would not hold filter it broke too and caught on clothes Removed lint screen, Unscrewed sensor, and then unscrewed screw next to sensor in middle of cover, unscrewed two top screws on guide and removed. Flap and back piece came out with the cover and I unsnapped it from the cover. Vacuumed hole where cover was (lots of lint). Snapped cover into flap/back piece and slid back into unit, reattached sensor put back in both screws (sensor and middle screw). Put back in two top screws, replaced lint screen. Done - easy, only tricky part is when you put the assembled unit back into its hole you need to make sure wires to sensor are in right position, and then it takes a little effort to push screws into the metal wall of the dryer so they catch and re-thread.

Amy W Huntington Beach , CA August 02, 2020 Lint screen was catching clothes twisting them around and damaging them. With suggestions offered on this website ordered all three parts because the configuration of the lint filter had changed. Glad I did change it because when I removed the old setup, there were tons of lint that had accumulated. Definite fire hazard. But the new mechanism fits nicely and not too hard to install. Works like a charm now. Lint screen fits snuggly and no more snagging clothes Read More... 2 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
