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. 

The Dryer Thermistor is an OEM part for LG dryers, designed to monitor and help regulate the temperature within the dryer by providing feedback to the control board about the temperature inside the drum.
