Additional Information
The LG Dryer Lint Screen Guide, part number MEA49050001, is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component designed specifically for several Kenmore and LG dryer models. It attaches to the front bulkhead of your dryer to support the lint screen, which plays a crucial role in maintaining dryer efficiency and safety by trapping lint particles. On some LG models made before July 2011, also replace lint screen cover MCK49049101 if the guide and cover weren't previously replaced. Unplug the dryer before installation and wear work gloves to protect your hands.
The part ensures the effective capture of lint during the drying process, reducing the risk of lint build-up in the dryer venting system, which can be a fire hazard. Regular maintenance can help keep your dryer operating safely and efficiently.
The simple piece clips and slides into the other screen housing. Answered the question of were the screws went. A simple fix once you get the units front plate off.

They sent the part in a box but no instructions on what or how to install. This dryer has been tearing up our clothes for three years and to just find out that there's a repair but they still don't give you help to fix it is very disappointing.
