Product review (5 stars): Great little filter but...
I bought 2 of these lint filters to replace my orininals,they are the exact same size & color-baby blue, but the filter part on my original ones goes all the way to the bottom and these only go half way. My originals are 2 pieces that come apart,these are one piece that opens to clean out. The problem is at the very bottom on both sides are a tiny plastic round piece sticking out maybe 1/4" on either side. They do not fit in my wash machine even though the part matched the model. This is a newer part to replace the ones like I have. I think I figured out why it works for so many and a few of us it simply won't work. Just a guess here but I bet people with the full size large capacity washer have the problem. I think this filter shown is for the smaller apt.size or compact washers. I didn't want to deal with a return and reorder because nobody seems to know anything or where to get the right part to fit as it's only some people that are having trouble. I decide to cut off the plastic piece on both sides and now it fits perfect! Doesn't come out of the slot even when washing clothes,clicks in like it's supposed to as well. Problem solved. So for those of you who are frustrated and don't want to deal with returns,explanations,and ship costs,not to mention trying to get the right one--fix it yourself, alter this and save yourself time and money :) it took me exactly one minute and I used a metal pincher tool to pinch off the plastic round knob. Smoothed it out and done:) I will add a picture of my original  filter and the new one I ended up altering. I hope this helps a few people that have the same problem I had. The only solution I found was to cut off the plastic pieces on bottom. The filter actually works better than the original. Go figure!
