Any Electrolux Service Bulletins About Clothing Being Caught On Corner of Lint Filter And Dislodging It? There is a gap on the side of the lint filter where clothing slips in and catches its corner. This is the second time I have been out on this dryer because the lint filter gets dislodged and then socks get stuck in the blower wheel. This dryer already has the updated vane/paddle as per service flash LN1803. Serial # 4D94308379

Yes, already saw that one. There should be a bulletin on the issue i described because it has happened to them four times now and it is obviously a design flaw that could be easily remedied by an updated lint filter or housing with a different shape.

No service flash comes up on Electrolux web site for this!

Okay thanks for checking

Actually, we've found the exact opposite of that service bulletin. We mostly see this issue on drums with 2 straight and 1 mixing vane. We replace the mixing vane with a straight vane so all 3 are straight. Haven't had a call back regarding this issue after replacing the mixing vane.

(specifically, it's the mixing vane that is getting clothes caught between it and the filter, pulling the filter out of it's housing, haven't had any complaints vis a vis the complaint addressed in that service bulletin)
