Felt Seal Assembly

Answer Karen, A couple of things to remember, The felt seal is folded in half, and one half is secured to the bulkhead, and the other half presses against the rim of the tumbler to form a seal. When installed you have to check and make sure the seal is seated and folded properly in order to "clear" the rollers. Check and make sure the tumbler is not out of round, and that the roller and shafts are installed properly, the rollers and shaft, coukld allow the gap between the tumbler and bulkhead to increase, and allow small articles to get caught in the gap.

Answer Hello Steve, Without the felt seal, the heat, lint, and moisture is all blown back into the cabinet where the unit normally draws in the intake air. This is basically recirculating the moisture and I am surprized that the unit is drying the clothes this quickly. The seal is almost as important as the duct that carries the heat, linty, and moisture outside. Needless to say, you need to replace the seal.

Answer Hello Scott. This piece is installed by removing the top of the dryer and pulling out the drum. Once the drum is removed you should be able to see where the seal fits between it and the bulkhead. Most dryers have tabs that will hold the seal in. Replace the drum and the top of the dryer and you should be all set. I hope this info helps.

Answer Hello. The felt seal works as a bearing for the drum to ride on. Hope this helps.
