The Dryer's Lint Filter is used to collect lint during the dryer cycle as it passes through the dryer vent, in order to prevent damage to the machine. This manufacturer-approved part comes in gray, measures around 12 inches wide by 11 inches high, and is easy to install. It slides into the lint filter slot in your dryer. If there is visible damage to the screen then it's time to replace the part. We recommend that you thoroughly clean the lint filter before every load, but even with good maintenance, this hard-working part is often damaged or worn over time. If your dryer isn't drying quickly, the filter may be responsible. The manufacturer has made an authorized substitution to the lint filter. Due to the changes, the manufacturer suggests changing the filter guide, part # MEA4905001 and filter cover, part # MCK66787901. The replacement of the entire component including the filter and surrounding area and guide simply involves the removal of a few screws and screwing the new parts back into place.

The removable lint filter has warped at one end and periodically can catch clothes as they spin. What part number(s) do I need to replace this filter. Looking at some posts it seems that depending on the model it's recommended you also replace other parts as well because of a redesign.
For model number DLEX2801R
Hi Lon, Thank you for the question. You will need to replace the filter, PartSelect Number PS3531962. They also suggest replacing the cover and the guide at the same time due to a redesign of the filter. Part # for Cover is PS3534930 and Guide is PS3535278. Hope this helps

I need a new lint filter (cracked) do i need a new filter guide the existing one is fine. What is the difference from the guide and cover?
For model number DLGX3371V
Hi Gary,
Thank you for your inquiry. I your filter guard is fine then you do not need to replace it. The guide is the part where the lint filter goes into and the cover provides protection for the filter. I hope this helps.
Thank you and have a great day!

I need to replace the lint filter (i believe part k310), but all of the replacement recommendations online have a different blocked corner on the lower corner. The original part is rounded on both lower corners. What part do i need to purchase to properly fit? Thx.
For model number DLEX3001R
Hi Will,
Thank you for your question. The lint filter listed under your model number is the correct part for you appliance and the lower corners of the lint filter have rounded edges. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

As per manufacture - due to a redesign you may also have to change the cover and filter guide.If this filter is to wide for the cover and guide on your appliance now these parts will also have to be replaced.

Sorry, we couldn't find any existing installation instruction that matched.
Filter parts chipped - replaced
Removed existing parts using screwdriver, positioned new parts in dryer and re-inserted screws, tightened - done. Piece of cake, even for someone who cannot saw a straight line with a chop saw.
Was initially going to order just the lint screen. Manufacturer notes said that there had been a redesign on that part so ordered all three pieces to ensure matching parts. On arrival it was just a matter of removing a few screws. Direct fit replacement!
Lint filter and cover guide melted which was ripping up some clothes
Just unscrewed four screws. One piece stays behind which is a sensor then pull up on it, put it back in the same way, put the four screws back in and it was done.
We have ruined hundreds and thousands of dollars the past decade on our LG typical detective lint filter!
I watched a You Tube Video. It instructed me to take the top, front, and door off. Not necessary!!! But definitely unplug it as there is a moisture sensor attached inside this housing. Remove current Filter. Remove all screws holding the two key pieces in (Filter Cover and Guide). Disconnect the moisture sensor (mine is white wires connected to two metal prongs). Remove the Filter Cover and Filter Guide and discard. Get a long vaccum hose and remove all visible lint in the area below where the Filter Guide resides. Replace the Filter Guide and reconnect the moisture sensor, replace the Filter Cover. You may find it easier to snap these two pieces together before installing. Make sure the small plastic guides on the inside of the drum snap in tightly to the tei guide holes, then replace all screws. Note- Part Select does not send screws, so save your screws from the old parts and take note which are longer and go where. Tighten, but do not over tighten. If you were successful, the Filter Cover and Guide should be smooth with the edge of the drum and door. Install your new Filter, plug back in, and enjoy! I can FINALLY dry tank tops, open shoulder, and key hole tops, as well as sheets without my dryer eating them. Only problem is that I wish I had done it sooner. Note, I'm a female with no electrical or appliance repair experience. I did this on my lunch break and surprised my husband when he got home! Easy peasy!
The lint dryer filter was not fitting in correctly so it sticks out a bit and while clothes are drying it was catching it and ripping/twisting and damaging all my clothes
I bought the whole dryer filter kit, but turns out I only needed the dryer filter and am very happy about that. No tools necessary I just slid it right in. It fit perfectly and I no longer have anxiety about my clothes coming out ripped.

We needed a new lint filter and housing guide
My only issue was that I paid almost $30 for overnight shipping , and Part Select only sent two of the three pieces overnight. I had to wait several more days for the final piece. When I asked that they refund the expedited shipping charge, I never got a response. Would probably go with another company next time.
I didn't get to do the repair because despite the model number and the picture being exactly what I needed I was shipped the wrong part and basically told by pets select to shake it off that's your problem not ours.
When manufacturer confirmed the part would fit without an adapter, it was the easiest DIY task ever undertaken.

Lint Screen Housing broke causing damage to clothing
Could not do repair since the parts that I ordered were different from the picture on this site. I have emailed them to which they replied with one email asking for some info. I sent that to them and have not heard anything back in the last 3 weeks. I have even sent reminder emails and still nothing. I can't use my dryer due to damaging clothing and can't replace parts due to being the wrong part. Partselect is not very good at getting answers for their customers. Expert repair help is something i don't think they have. Getting some answers would go a long way but i feel like i have been left in the dark.

Will this replacement withstand dryer heat?
This part needed to be replaced because the heat of the dryer made the original part malfunction. The original part’s ends raised up from the filter slot, caught and ruined some clothes. Will this part do the same? Dryer parts should be made to withstand heat and not be ruined by it.

Outstanding !
PartSelect has been my go to for too many projects around the house to count. This was the “correct” replacement due to a change in the mounting system on the new models, fit perfectly. Without their *Note informing me of this change I may have purchased the wrong one. It’s in and working fine. Thank you

Did not work as aspected.
The part came in a timely manner but was not happy with the lint filter. My dryer is an older model and the lint filter did not fit well at all. The top of the filter did not fit flush. The ends of the filter stuck out of the top of the hole that the filter was inserted. The clothes in the dryer would wrap around the ends of the filter. This filter was very costly and felt I wasted my money.
