Reviews

A bit of a hassle but it worked out in the end.
December 27, 2022

The product initially did not fit - lint trap edges were too narrow to receive the lint trap. This part I think has a different fit depending on model but it is not readily apparent even when matching model number (seats is not using the exact same convention in their offering). This would've gotten a lower rating but customer service was very good about helping me find a part that did fit. The replacement part fits and works well. I don't have advice on what to do differently for future customers to ensure proper fit.

Doesn't work without carving
August 13, 2022

This is the second parts distributor I went through for a lint screen housing for our dryer and, from both places, they gave me the same part that just doesn't work as-is. As far as I can tell, the manufacturer designed it wrong and forgot to cut out slots for the lint filter to fit into. The photo on the site has the slots but doesn't match the delivered product. As a result, the filter just doesn't fit and sticks out the top of the housing. I had to carve those slots out with an exacto knife which was probably dumb of me, but I could only go so long without a working dryer. If you're in my position, I'd probably call the manufacturer or someone here at Sears PartsDirect before purchasing and ask them to confirm the filter slides into the housing as expected before shipping.

Here you can see the new housing and the new filter not fitting.
This shows the original part with the slots (on the bottom) and the replacement part here from Sears Parts Direct that doesn't work and has no slots.

What a waste
July 05, 2022

Housing was recommended by sears direct to replace with ordering the vent screen. Not only didnt the screen guide (recommended to replace), the newly ordered dryer vent screen didnt fit.

Expensive garbage!
May 17, 2022

It does not come with the hardware to affix it, so you will have to purchase it elsewhere or use what is there from the original part. It is more cheaply made than the original and will not fit the original lint screen. So, you will have to purchase that too.

This part came defective. The lint screen could not go in due to cutouts at top not being finished.
