Customer Questions and Answers for Rear Drum Felt Seal With Adhesive by Whirlpool

The Rear Drum Felt Seal with Adhesive is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part creates a tight seal at the rear of the dryer drum. This seal prevents hot air from escaping the drum during cycles, ensuring efficient and even drying of clothes. 

Causes of a deteriorating rear drum felt seal can range from normal wear and tear, excessive heat exposure, to mechanical issues that cause misalignment or excessive wear on the seal itself.

Symptoms of a bad Rear Drum Felt Seal include:

• Clothes taking longer to dry or not drying thoroughly
• Increased lint outside the dryer or in the venting system
• Unusual noises during operation, indicating a gap or friction issue
• Heat escaping from the rear of the dryer

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
