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.

Jami E Cincinnati , OH January 31, 2021 Lint filter cover and lint filter were cracked and catching/tearing clothes when drying My clothes were getting caught on the cracked lint cover and filter and tearing. I am a single mom and didn't want to pay a repairman to come out. After about 20 minutes of research, I realized the parts would be super easy to order and quickly found Appliance Parts Pros! I popped in my model number and it recommended all pieces I'd need. Super helpful! Ordered the Lint Filter Cover, Lint Filter and Guide and they arrived in 3 days! The whole repair took about 30 minutes. So easy and I'm so proud I did it myself!! I'll definitely order from Appliance Parts Pros again!
