Product review (1 stars): Deceiving offer
Deceiving offer. Amazon has a problem with generic parts vendors that offer their products in pages created for legitimate OEM parts, -in this case Whirlpool. I purchased from Next Day MRO the Whirlpool 8531964 Lint Filter ("Whirlpool item; a genuine replacement part") offered in this page, but received an ER (Exact Replacement) generic brand part.

I would have given 3 stars to the generic filter if it had been similar to the OEM filter. But it is more than 1/8" too short, leaving holes open in the filter holding frame, allowing lint to pass thru (see photo). Streching outwards the plastic rim of the filter did not help much. My deceiving vendor should somehow be penalized by Amazon, and only offer their generic filter in the proper page: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PM8TCTU/

BTW, I fixed the small tear in the mesh of my old OEM filter, using high temperature tape and instant glue (see photos). It has been working ok for several weeks.
