Dryer lint screen repair
![]() |
The problem: the handle broke off the lint screen |
1) Drill two holes about 3 inches apart through the both the handle and the screen. Use a drill bit about the same size as the diameter of the zip tie being used. Avoid drilling through your finger as you hold the pieces.

Carefully drill two holes through both parts |
2) Thread a zip tie through the holes from the back side, cinch it up and cut it off.

That was easy, it's good to go now. |
The broken control knob repair
This type of plastic knob, with a half moon slot to fit into an on-off switch or speed or temperature control, frequently breaks apart. With a small zip tie we will make short and effective work of fixing this.
1) Get a small zip tie or two and wrap it around the broken part of the control knob. To better match the contour of the missing half-moon section, have the locking part of the tie opposite the broken section.
Cinch up tight by holding a pliers against the locking part and pulling the loose end tight. Cut off the excess end.
Here I used two ties to strengthen and fill in the missing part |
