LG Appliances Dryer Lint Filter

Very good dryer at this cost point. Nice quiet and moisture sensor is much better than last versions. Would recommend purchase of this product.

I had to replace the filter on my dryer after a corner broke off and started snagging clothes. Glad the right model was easy to track down and replace. It seems very effective - cleaning the dryer vent is still necessary but we dont pull out as much as you would expect. The only flaw in the design is that lint gets trapped under the filter and theres no easy way to get it out. It keeps the filter from sitting exactly flush after it builds up. Once I was able to dig it out with a lot of effort this replacement sits flush now.

Like a lot of folks I have bought this part thinking it was defective and that heat warped the filter. Most of the issue is not due to a defective part but rather to lint buildup that is below the filter screen which prevents the screen from going all the way in or down. To see if this fix will work just take a flashlight open the flap that the screen goes into and look to see if there is a large lint buildup at the bottom. If there is then this fix will probably work as you only need to remove the lint. But how? Here are three different methods. Method 1. You may already have a nozzle on your vacuum that will fit down the opening to vacuum out the lint. If not you can always fix up an adapter to connect a narrow pipe like 1/2 PVC to the vacuum nozzle using duct tape. Method 2. Use a grabbing tool like the NERECND model #HU-XI-82 on Amazon or a Home Depot UltraTech #70399. Method 3. Use a phillips screwdriver and follow the instructions on one of the YouTube Videos like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4HTNjdJAyg Since you already do some routine maintenance on the washer by removing lint from the waste basket you should just add this to the list. Dear LG: Seeing the very large number of folks with this issue I imagine the newer models are re-engineered to prevent the issue. May I suggest that LG make up a crevice tool and adapter to fit most vacuums and mail them to customers at their request and ask them to add it to the routine maintenance? Cost would be extremely minimal and great marketing

This purchase was a replacement lint filter. Easy ordering process.

Ive tried to contact your on line customer service which is a joke. The filter does not fit. Ive sent several emails with photos and gotten no where. Do not order.
