Product review (1 stars): Major design flaw - it damages clothing
I've been using my Frigidaire dryer in Glacier Blue for about 20 months. It's a lovely color and looks great in our laundry room. But in the past few months, I've become afraid to put clothing in it.

I have determine there is a major design flaw with the lint compartment. Not only is it difficult to keep clean, the lint tray edges catch on clothes and rip them. This is has happen to three of my shirts, a pair of shorts, and a towel. As the clothing spin around, the protruding edges of the link tray catch on loops and thick strings. The clothing continues to twist and eventually the strain causes the fabric to rip. This is unacceptable.

In addition, a lot of lint and hair gets past the lint tray and builds up at the bottom of the lint compartment. I have to use chopsticks to clean out lint or use a vacuum attachment to try and get everything out. It shouldn't be this difficult to maintain a dryer.

Because these things didn't start happening until this year, I'm past my full warranty. They offered to replace the lint compartment with a new lint compartment. Since it's the same design - it's unlikely this will help. The company offered to rebate me 40% on a new machine. I'm not exactly thrilled about shelling out $600 (after rebate) to buy a new dryer when I just bought one less than two years ago. Besides, they don't make this color anymore and it won't match the washer.

I'll give them credit for trying to help but their solution just don't work. If this was a mechanical issue, I understand having to pay my share. This, however, is a major design flaw and I believe they need to do better.
