Product review (5 stars): Don't bang that lint filter frame.
The part is exactly like the old one.  It should last for years.  The old one broke at a couple of the corners due to my rough handling.  My daughter showed me how to gently remove the lint!  Her way is much faster and easier and will not jeopardize the plastic frame.  I moisten a tissue and the lint rolls right up for disposal in a trash can.
