Customer Questions and Answers for Drum Seal by Whirlpool

The Drum Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This seal is located around the edge of the dryer drum and is designed to prevent clothes from getting caught between the drum and the dryer cabinet. It also helps to retain heat within the drum, ensuring efficient drying performance.

Over time, the drum seal can wear out or become damaged due to the high temperatures and constant friction involved in the drying process. If the seal fails, it can lead to inefficient drying and potential damage to clothing.

Symptoms of a bad drum seal include:

• Clothes getting snagged or torn during the drying cycle
• Longer drying times due to heat loss
• Increased noise from the dryer
• Visible wear or gaps in the seal

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