5231EL1003B Clothes Dryer Lint Filter Assembly with Lint Vent Brush

Keeping my old machine doing its thing at a good price.My Kenmore has the slightly larger trap size which has a felt seal along with small shape/design differences, this seller made it easy to differentiate via clear pictures between the two similarly shaped options. It's very hard to go wrong!I sought a replacement because the felt strip around my original screen is on its second repair and I think it's better to have another on hand. A slight difference in the lettering on top that assists orienting is the only noticeable difference from the original part. That, and it fits even more securely because the felt is in good shape lol. The body and screening are solidly made and look like they'll last well through the regular soap and water needed to remove dryer sheet residue. This screen is what I'd expect buying an OEM part (which are getting harder to find for my durable old machine) - but this nice little replacement doesn't have that price tag!The FELT: If you're looking at these I am betting that's what failed on your old screen. Although this part was designed with felt, it's possible to find versions of this without it - and they're usually even less expensive. DON'T do it! I've even found unofficial repair videos for my model where the felt is either just gone or it's stated it is unnecessary if it's damaged. This is NOT true and potentially dangerous. That little strip *seals your cabinet* as well as protecting your dryer ducting from combustible build up. No felt ensures a housing full of lint as well as the duct. Seriously dangerous if you aren't the type to regularly over-maintain, I sure only get into the housing when I need to fix something. I can say that my housing barely gets dusty inside and this nice little replacement looks to continue that easily.Almost forgot to mention the brush that came with this - because it's a solid little tool that has some difficulty with the descending 90 degree turn on my machine so it's not helpful there. However! It's a nice quality and I'm appreciating adding it to my cleaning tools.

It fit my dryer. And definitely pay attention to the shape of the vent you are trying to buy. It makes a difference
