Lg 1TPL0303218 Tapping Screw OEM Part

The lint trap guide cover was cracked on our LG dryer which sees pretty heavy use at our rental cabins. AppliancePartsPros.com got us the replacement part in about 48 hours. They didn't have the lowest price, but they made the best assurances of a quick delivery while not having to pay for expedited shipping. I had double-checked part numbers (and prices and shipping time estimates!) at a number of other sites. All listed the same part number but, with it in hand, I could see it wasn't exactly the same item despite having the correct part number. On our unit, the guide cover and the moisture sensor are in two separate pieces. On the replacement part, everything was one piece. In fact, the image of the replacement part shows the relief for the sensor holder, but it's not there on the actual item. I was dismayed at first, but quickly realized I could pull the sensor strips from the original separate sensor holder and install them in the replacement guide after which everything screwed right into place. The original guide had snagged clothing and cracked right where the separate sensor holder joined it, so I suspect LG may have improved the design by making it all one piece. Anyhow, we were quickly back in business with a pretty simple and inexpensive repair.
