Product review (5 stars): Before you read the bad reviews!!!!
So!! Initially, I thought this item was terrible because it didn't fit like the original one. The original had been broken for quite awhile and then wasn't going all the way inside the lint trap any more. I even vacuumed it out and it was still malfunctioning. I thought maybe the broken flap was getting catching on something and therefore unable to go all the way down. BUT!! After pointing a flashlight deeper into the lint trap we realized that there was so much compacted lintinstide of the dryer that it was keeping the lint screen from going all the way inside!!! It was so compacted that I had to break it up with a wire hanger first for the vaccume to even suck anything up!! It was so much lint in a tiny little space that it filled up my canister vaccume TWICE!!! So, before you decide that this doesnt fit, dig deep in your lint trap and get all the trash out of there!! Its a fire hazard too!!
