Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The lint filter on my Maytag dryer model # LDE512 cracked completely through on the left side (after the screen tore in two places).
Maytag wants just under thirty dollars for this part (before shipping), and even third-party parts websites average from 12-24 dollars (before shipping).
Checked here, and lo! This is a compatible replacement for this model number (among many others).
It arrived quickly, adequately packaged.
Putting it into the filter screen slot, it went in fine 4/5 of the way and stopped! As though it were too wide at the top. D'oh!! Not wanting to force it/break it, I removed it. And cursed.
And went to my local parts store, where they assured me they had the correct replacement, for 12.99. Bought one, thinking it looked suspiciously similar. But what do I know,right. Alas - same part. Cursed again.
Then it occurred to me that a) I might have been wrong before, and b) now I had two, so what could it matter if I broke one?
Walked back to the laundry room with the orginal replacement, from Amazon, in hand. Crammed it in there, and when it 'stuck', pushed harder. And it went right in. Sigh.
So now I have two, which is all right, I guess. And now I know that I could trust this seller to start with, and the product was great all along.
I cannot say whether the replacement will hold up better than the original. It IS an exact replica,except for the color, with the same type of thin,poorly attached 'fabric' mesh and very thin plastic framing along the sides. This IS NOT a flaw of this seller's product, but rather a poor design on Maytag's part. Perhaps buy more than one..
If yours is broken, this is a fine replacement.
