Product review (5 stars): LG Filter was purchased to replace a poor fitting original filter
The filter has been redesigned from the original that came with the dryer.  The original did not seat correctly and allowed lint to by-pass the screen and clog in the outgoing chamber.  I thought that the original filter had become distorted, so I purchased a replacement. The new design provides a shape that conforms to the chamber, and now seats correctly and no more lint by-pass.  Too bad that LG did not notify owners of the problem, and to provide free replacements.  Hopefully no one had any safety problems, like fire, with the older design.  The new filter meets all of my expectations.
