Product review (5 stars): Cleaning helps with fit problems
Our old lint filter had an odd snag on the corner that would catch and destroy clothes on occasion, so I ordered this piece. When I put this one in, however, it rested about half an inch too high. As others noted here, the problem is that lint collects below the filter. I disassembled the housing for the filter and cleaned out the lint. When I finished, the new filter fit perfectly and has given us zero problems. It took all of 5 minutes.
